Should Italy provide military supplies and funding to Ukraine?
On February 24 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. The invasion caused Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with around 7.1 million Ukrainians fleeing the country and a third of the population displaced. It has also caused global food shortages.

Yes

Ukraine is a seen as a buffer by Russia, and has a strategic value for both them and the EU alike. Russia has asserted their dominance over former Soviet states throughout the years (Georgia, Moldova, Belarus), and started the war against them because Ukraine wanted to join the EU. We might prevent possible future rebuttal from Russia in the EU member states and inner workings.
@B25479K2wks2W
Yes, but only if Ukraine begins to move towards our ideas of European Unity and Nationalism. We should not send aid to woke or barbaric nations.
@95CYYCZ2yrs2Y
Yes, private citizens who support Ukraine should be able to send aid themselves

No, Ukraine should rely on their own resources to defend themselves
@B223L224wks4W
Despite them having invested in the army and them successfully keeping the huge Russian army at bay, thus making them part of Europe's best military , they are still on the lower end of every European data poll, and that was true before the war, and their resources were always scarce. And Russia's army is large, there's no way to predict how long they can maintain the status-quo.
@7YY64YV2yrs2Y
Yes, but only military supplies and they must be either returned or repaid.

No, we cannot afford to give economic resources right now

Preserving Ukraine's sovereignty against Russia is a matter of huge importance for the entire EU, not just for Italy. If Ukraine will cease to fight, it will have dire consequences for Europe at large, because EU's economy would crash, there will be less political stability, and Russia will dare attack other countries, which would mean that NATO might commence a war with the Russians.
