Tensions remain high within the Meloni government over military aid to Ukraine.
Having resolved the mystery surrounding Giorgetti's failure to sign the 13th package ("He will do so as soon as he returns to Rome," the prime minister assured), the interministerial decree was presented by Defense Minister Guido Crosetto at COPASIR. "We have always found a compromise; Italy's position remains unchanged," Meloni explained. But it was the League's Borghi who warned his allies: "The League is politically opposed to the renewal of the framework decree for 2027, as confirmed by the congress."
And while the Italian government debates, talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States have begun in Abu Dhabi. Ukrainian President Zelensky calls the negotiations "constructive," but U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warns: "There's still a long way to go." Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also dashed European hopes: "We will not accept requests for an immediate truce."
