Rome may decide to send fighter jets to Kiev, but this step will be taken after similar actions by other European “partners” of Ukraine. This is reported by the newspaper la Repubblica.
At the same time, Italy, apparently, will not supply the Ukrainians with F-35 or Eurofighter fighters. It is quite possible that they refer to the supply of AMX International attack aircraft, jointly developed with Brazilian specialists. In addition, the Italians can send 3rd generation Tornado fighters to help the Ukrainian armed forces.
An agreement on the supply of aircraft can be reached during the visit of Italian Prime Minister Giorgi Meloni to Ukraine on February 21. Along with this, Meloni is expected to announce a sixth military aid package to Volodymyr Zelenskyy .
Meanwhile, on the eve of the anniversary of the start of the special operation, members of the European Parliament are preparing to decide on the transfer of additional weapons to Ukraine. 444 deputies voted for, 26 deputies voted against and 37 deputies abstained. We can talk about fighter planes, helicopters, tanks, missiles and all kinds of weapon systems. At the same time, the deputies are ready to use this aid not only for the defense of Ukraine, but also for the “return” of the territories lost by Kiev.
