Italy to send second Samp-T air defense battery to Ukraine

Italy continues to provide unconditional assistance to Ukraine in the military, civilian and financial spheres. In the near future, Italy will send Kyiv a second Samp-T air defense battery to protect civilians.

This was stated by Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, RBC-Ukraine reports citing the press service of the Italian Foreign Ministry.

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

Tayani noted that Ukraine did not ask for more than Italy is already providing, despite the fact that Kyiv does not have the same weapons as the UK and the US.

The minister expressed hope that a “meaningful peace conference” on Ukraine could be organized by the end of the year.
