Italy approves sixth military aid package to Ukraine

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani reported this. 

Earlier, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of war. According to him, Zelenskyy “should have stopped attacking the two autonomous republics of Donbas, and this would not have happened.”

Tajani said that Berlusconi's words do not reflect Italian policy.

“Italy is not NATO's weak link,” he assured. 

“Italy wants peace, which can only be achieved by continuing to arm Kyiv,” Antonio Tajani noted. 

He announced the sixth package of military aid to Ukraine, which was approved by the Italian government on February 15. However, it is not yet known what exactly will be included in the package.

• Giorgia Meloni, the Italian Prime Minister, has said the invitation of Volodymyr Zelensky to Paris was "inappropriate".
