Italy’s Ukraine Arms Package Exposes Tensions Within Meloni’s Coalition
The delay reflects procedural requirements and renewed coalition tensions over further arms deliveries to Kyiv, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Italy's 13th aid package for Ukraine faced delays after Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti missed the required signature on the classified decree while attending an EU finance meeting in Brussels.
- Procedural delays occur amid renewed pressure from Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini's League, which opposes further arms deliveries and advocates for seeking alternative channels toward peace regarding Ukraine.
- Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani confirmed the Economy Ministry cleared the decree, stating, 'As soon as he arrives in Rome, he will sign it,' regarding Giorgetti and the package likely containing air defense components.
- Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ruled out political alliances with forces opposing military assistance, framing support for Ukraine as a matter of national security while Defense Minister Guido Crosetto manages parliamentary oversight.
- The broader legal authorization underpinning Italy's military assistance mechanism expires at the end of 2026, as the government balances domestic living costs and energy bills with its international commitments.
