In the near future.

In the near future, Italy will strengthen the Ukrainian air defense with a second Samp-T battery. This was announced by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in an interview with Corriere della Sera, the press service of the Italian Foreign Ministry reports.

“We have provided Kyiv with unconditional assistance, military, civil, financial, and now we are going to send a second Samp T battery to protect the Ukrainian population,” Tajani said.

The head of the Italian Foreign Ministry noted that Ukraine did not ask for more than Italy already provides. In addition, the country does not have the British and American weapons that Kyiv needs.
