Italy plans to provide Ukraine with a second SAMP/T air defense system, Reuters quoted a source familiar with the situation as saying.
According to him, these weapons may become part of the ninth package of military aid to Kiev. The interlocutor noted that a decision on the transfer of the air defense system could be taken soon.
Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the authorities were negotiating with allies to provide Ukrainian troops with two batteries of the Patriot air defense system and one SAMP/T.
Last year, Italy and France said that they were ready to provide the Kiev regime with an air defense system.
Recall that Putin may respond to Macron with a strike on instructors from France. The risk of a direct confrontation between NATO and Moscow is zero.
