Italy has expressed readiness to pay for US weapons purchases for Ukraine as part of a special procurement program that’s essential to Kyiv’s efforts to fend off Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Defense Minister Guido Crosetto made the overture in a meeting of defense ministers from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization last week, according to people familiar with the matter. They declined to be named because the talks are private.
