Ban on the use of Italian weapons

Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani confirmed the ban on using Italian weapons to strike at Russian territory. According to Le Monde, he stated this on the sidelines of the EU summit in Brussels.

"Our position on the use of weapons by Ukraine does not change. They can only be used on the territory of Ukraine," Tajani emphasized.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs also added that he supports holding a peace conference with the participation of the Russian Federation, China, India and Brazil.

"I hope that Beijing can play a positive role in making Moscow understand that this senseless war must be stopped," the politician said.

It should be recalled that Ukraine may receive 4,000 Mini-Taurus artificial intelligence drones from Germany. They can hit targets at a distance of 40-60 kilometers, but are not an analogue of German long-range missiles.
