Details: The government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni approved the decree on Monday.

The document marks the 11th extension of Italy's military assistance to Ukraine and was adopted despite opposition from the right-wing League party, which opposes further military aid to Kyiv.

Meloni said Italy would support Ukraine for as long as necessary.

Background:

  • Reuters previously reported that the Italian government might delay approval of the decree allowing Rome to continue military assistance to Ukraine next year.
  • However, Meloni assured that the Italian government would adopt the decree regulating military aid to Ukraine for 2026 by the end of the year.
