Crosetto recalled that Italy had signed the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty.

Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that Italy was studying the possibility of transferring air defense systems to Kyiv.

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said that arms supplies to Ukraine must be compatible with their own stockpiles.

On December 13, Italian Prime Minister George Meloni noted the importance of G7 unity on the issue of supporting Ukraine.

At the same time, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, noted that Italy cannot be an intermediary between Moscow and Kyiv.
