The United States turned to Italy with an important demand because of Ukraine.

The United States is putting pressure on Italy in the supply of weapons to Ukraine.

⠀
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, in a conversation with Italian Prime Minister Meloni’s aide Francesco Talo, pressured Rome to supply Ukraine with military air defense assets as soon as possible.

⠀

It is worth noting that it was about the SAMP-T anti-aircraft missile systems. If Germany, the US and France have already announced the shipment of armored vehicles, then Italy has not yet adopted a new, sixth, decree on the next supply of weapons to Kyiv.

⠀

“Italy has at its disposal five active SAMP-T air defense batteries, as well as one training battery, which lacks a vehicle with launchers,” experts say.

There is a slowdown in the transfer of Italian equipment to Kyiv.
