Italy’s Defence Minister Guido Crosetto has said Donald Trump is “completely wrong” to restrict support for Ukraine, warning that the policy could prolong Russia’s full-scale invasion rather than help end the conflict.
Crosetto said the United States risked extending the war by limiting assistance to Ukraine. His comments amount to a direct criticism of Trump’s approach to US support for Kyiv.
The minister’s assessment centres on the consequences of reducing assistance during Russia’s full-scale invasion. He argued that restricting support would not achieve the stated aim of bringing the war to an end, but could instead allow the conflict to continue.
No further details on the specific measures involved, the timing of the comments or any response from the US or Ukrainian governments were provided in the supplied material.
