The Council of Ministers held a meeting, which resulted in a decision to extend Italian aid. The decree approved today is the 11th extension of assistance to Ukraine.

The agency writes that the League party opposed the decision, but Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's cabinet managed to approve the decree.
