Ukraine, from Italy only defensive weapons and generators, no missiles for the Samp/T

Italy is limiting its military aid to Ukraine, focusing on defensive weapons and generators, while suspending missile supplies for the Samp/T system. The Defense Minister, Guido Crosetto, indicated that missile stocks are depleted and emphasized the need to protect national security. The aid package will prioritize generators and repair components for bombed infrastructure, as Russia targets energy facilities. Meanwhile, Italy is accelerating its F-35 acquisition program, with costs rising significantly from initial estimates. The opposition has criticized the increased spending and called for parliamentary discussions on defense planning.
