Italy will not participate in the initiative to buy American weapons for Ki due to a lack of money, writes Stampa newspaper, citing its sources.
The publication notes that Rome will not follow Germany's example, whose Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently announced the intention to buy Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine.
"Italy does not pursue such a strategy according to our government leadership. Not only because Kiev's weapons systems are based on different technological configurations (SAMP-T is an Italian-French production), but before Germany, it is practically no budget area, which could allocate this type of operation. "The newspaper wrote on Wednesday.
As the same sources explain, the only weapons of weapons provided by Italy are supplied by the Batch of F-35 fighters, which is already planned for the next decade.
