Italy is in the process of finalizing a new military assistance package for Ukraine, according to two sources familiar with the situation, marking a continued commitment from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni‘s right-wing administration to support Kyiv.

Since the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Italy has sanctioned nine aid packages for President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s government, which include two Franco-Italian air defense systems known as SAMP/T.

The sources, who requested anonymity, indicated that the government is expected to approve a tenth package by the end of this month, although they did not disclose specific details. All previous shipments have been conducted under state confidentiality.

Since assuming office in late 2022, Meloni has consistently supported Kyiv and has pledged to continue backing Ukraine until the conflict concludes, particularly in light of uncertainties regarding the future U.S. stance with the incoming president, Donald Trump, taking office in January.

On Tuesday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte called on alliance members to enhance military support for Ukraine to bolster its position in potential peace talks with Russia.

During Italy’s presidency this year, the Group of Seven (G7) major democracies have consistently reaffirmed their support for Ukraine, denounced Russia’s aggressive actions, and committed to a $50 billion loan for Kyiv, which is backed by frozen Russian assets.
