Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies approved a majority resolution with 186 votes in favor committing the government to continue support for Ukraine in coordination with NATO, the EU, the G7 and allied partners.
- The text emphasizes reinforcing civil assistance, with references to military aid placed in the preamble rather than in the binding commitments.
- Crosetto framed aid as defensive and life‑saving, citing that 93% of Russian strikes hit civilian targets and warning that halting support would forfeit the chance to secure a stable peace.
- Coalition strains surfaced as Lega benches were visibly sparse during the debate and two Lega deputies, Rossano Sasso and Edoardo Ziello, voted against the majority resolution.
- Opposition parties filed separate texts, with parts of the Democratic Party motion approved after reworking, while the resolutions from the Five Star Movement and the Greens–Left Alliance were rejected; internationally, Putin decried deteriorated ties with Europe as Tajani defended Italy’s stance and Trump was reported saying Putin is readier for a deal than Ukraine.
