From RBC-Ukraine:
"Italy stops participation in military aid program for Ukraine
Italy has unexpectedly suspended its participation in NATO's weapons procurement program for Ukraine, citing ongoing talks about a possible ceasefire, Bloomberg reports.
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said that amid discussions on a potential peace deal, supplying weapons may no longer be needed.
According to him, if fighting were to stop, Kyiv would primarily need security guarantees rather than new batches of US-made weapons.
"If we reach an agreement and fighting ceases, weapons won’t be needed anymore. Other things, such as security guarantees, will be needed," Tajani told journalists in Brussels...
Italy has effectively become the first EU country to openly express reluctance to supply additional weapons to Kyiv during sensitive diplomatic negotiations..."
