> Italy’s latest military aid package for Ukraine reportedly includes four next-generation SAMP/T air defense batteries, Aster 30 interceptor missiles and seven long-range radars, worth nearly 3 billion euros. La Repubblica said the decision was kept secret to avoid political conflict in Rome, with delivery expected by year-end.
