Specific details remain confidential for now, but the information will be presented on Wednesday at a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee for the Security of the Republic (COPASIR), which oversees the activities of Italian intelligence agencies. This was announced by Italy’s Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto.
Antonio Tajani, Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, confirmed that the country remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine’s pursuit of a “just peace,” stressing that it cannot come at the cost of Ukraine’s capitulation.
“Italy stands by Kyiv with comprehensive support for a just peace,” Tajani said, highlighting that Italy’s efforts are focused on backing Ukraine, not forcing its surrender.
Tajani also noted that Italy is working on organizing a second peace conference, one that would involve Russia, as well as key international partners like China, India, and Brazil. Such a conference aims to foster dialogue that respects Ukraine’s sovereignty and seeks a genuinely fair resolution to the conflict.
Energy security for Ukraine remains a priority, Tajani added, emphasizing that this area of support is crucial and that the European Union is heavily invested in helping Ukraine restore and secure its energy infrastructure.
Additionally, Italy is preparing for the Conference on the Reconstruction of Ukraine, scheduled to take place in Rome in July 2025. This conference will be another step toward supporting Ukraine’s post-war recovery and long-term stability.
Italy’s Ongoing Support to Ukraine
Italy has played an active role in aiding Ukraine throughout Russia’s full-scale invasion. To date, Rome has delivered eight military aid packages, including anti-aircraft missiles, artillery systems, armored vehicles, and ammunition. The country’s government plans to increase its assistance next year to 1.7 billion euros.
It’s important to note that all Italian-provided weaponry can only be used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces within Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.
In addition to military support, the Italian Foreign and Defense Ministries have expressed their willingness to consider sending Italian soldiers to Ukraine as part of a potential peacekeeping mission, should the conditions call for it.
