Italy has officially published a decree regarding a new military aid package for Ukraine, prepared on November 14. This is stated on the website of the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic.
Based on the decree, signed by the Minister of Defense of Italy Guido Crosetto after coordination with the heads of the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Economy, Ukraine will receive another batch of military materials, and equipment.
For security reasons, the full list of assistance is marked "secret" and is not subject to public disclosure.
The decree establishes that the equipment and materials are transferred to Ukraine free of charge and are subject to being written off from the military records of Italy. The document also emphasizes the need for the shortest possible transfer terms, and the description of the weapons will be carried out exclusively for the purpose of internal accounting.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal, following the 31st meeting of the Contact Group on Defense Issues of Ukraine (Ramstein) on October 15 in Brussels (Belgium), announced that new contributions to the PURL initiative amounted to USD 422 million, and purchases from the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex amounted to over USD 715 million.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the Netherlands approved the provision of a second large package of assistance to Ukraine within the framework of the PURL program. This program allows the Ukrainian side to purchase modern American weapons, including key air defense systems and the long-awaited F-16 fighter jets.
