New aid package for Kyiv ready says Tajani, responding to Salvini

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced a new aid package for Ukraine, countering Transport Minister Matteo Salvini's recent statements about halting support. Tajani emphasized Italy's commitment to Ukraine, stating that military aid is prepared for immediate dispatch. Salvini, recently re-elected as leader of the League party, faced internal criticism for the party's rightward shift. Meanwhile, MP Simonetta Matone left the League to join Forza Italia, opposing extreme positions within the party. The League, originally focused on northern Italy's independence, has evolved to seek broader national appeal.
