Arms transfers to Ukraine have been approved by the Italian Parliament. According to Ukrinform, Prime Minister Mario Draghi mentioned this in an interview with Corriere della Sera.

“The decision to supply weapons was almost unanimously made in parliament. The conditions of the dispute are clear: on the one side, there are those who have been attacked, and on the other, the aggressor’s army “Draghi stated the following.

Sanctions against Russia are necessary to weaken the aggressor, but they will not be able to stop the troops in the near future, according to Draghi. As a result, according to the government’s leader, Ukrainians require immediate assistance in the form of weapons

“Not doing so would be similar to encouraging them to surrender and accept slavery and oppression, a message that runs opposite to our European solidarity principles. Rather, we want to provide Ukrainians the ability to defend themselves “Draghi stated the following.

Draghi said that he initially believed Russia would win quickly, but that “there are no signals” that the Ukrainian people will accept Russian occupation.
