Overview
- The Chamber approved the majority resolution with 186 votes in favor and the Senate also gave its assent, committing Italy to continue support for Kyiv in coordination with NATO, the EU and G7, with reinforced civilian aid and references to military assistance confined to the preamble.
- Internal divisions in the governing coalition were visible as Lega deputies Rossano Sasso and Edoardo Ziello voted against in the lower house and Senator Claudio Borghi did not take part in the upper-house vote after party benches were notably sparse and withheld applause during Crosetto’s address.
- Crosetto said halting aid would mean abandoning peace before it is built, argued Russia’s military capacity is expanding, and stated he is proud of Italy’s support while expressing hope that only the civilian portions of the decree will ultimately be needed.
- Opposition texts saw mixed outcomes, with parts of Più Europa, Italia Viva and Azione resolutions approved, four of five points from the Democratic Party accepted, and the Five Star Movement and Greens–Left resolutions largely rejected as parties registered cross‑voting and abstentions.
- A small 'Team Vannacci' demonstration outside Montecitorio called for an end to funding arms for Kyiv, as foreign policy context sharpened with Vladimir Putin lamenting deteriorated ties with Europe and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani replying that Rome defends Ukraine against an illegitimate invasion.
