Ukraine celebrated its 35th anniversary of independence as a meeting of supporting nations, known as the "Volenterosi," took place. French President Macron announced a military exercise planned for October and November, though Italy will not participate. Despite not joining the exercise, Italian Prime Minister Meloni affirmed Italy’s continued support for Ukraine and its commitment to facilitating negotiations. Discussions centered on potential aid packages for Ukraine, with a focus on providing crucial air defense systems and generators. This support comes as Ukraine continues to defend itself against ongoing conflict. Italy is preparing a new aid package including these items, demonstrating its dedication to assisting Ukraine alongside its partners.
