EU Split: Italy, Spain & France Question Ukraine Aid Boost | Spain’s FM Albares Backs €1B Pledge

Italy and Spain have pushed back against the EU’s plan to double military aid to Ukraine, citing concerns over timing and ongoing diplomatic talks.

The proposal, led by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, aims to raise aid from €20 billion to €40 billion by 2025.

While northern and eastern EU nations strongly support the move, southern countries like Italy and Spain are urging caution.

Even France has voiced concerns, adding to the growing divide within the bloc.

Hungary and Slovakia have outright refused to participate, but EU officials say their opposition won't derail the plan.
