Crosetto to present 9th Ukraine aid package Thursday

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 26 - On Thursday Defence Minister Guido Crosetto will present a new package of military aid for Ukraine, the ninth since the Russian invasion in 2022, to parliamentary intelligence service oversight committee COPASIR, sources said on Wednesday.
    Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) in Berlin earlier this month that Italy was preparing a new package of military aid for Kyiv featuring the Samp-T air-defence system.
    The French-Italian system can track dozens of ballistic missiles and intercept many at the same time.
    Italy and France gave one Samp-T to Ukraine last year as part of efforts to help Kyiv defend itself. (ANSA).
