Italy's Crosetto: Limiting Ukraine's Satellite Access Is a Grave Error

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto called the US decision to limit Ukraine's access to satellite systems and intelligence a "complete, grave error," warning it could prolong Russia's invasion rather than promote peace. In a BBC interview, Crosetto said the Trump administration's move "makes absolutely no sense," arguing peace will only come when Putin believes he cannot advance further. He warned that weakening Ukraine would convince Russia it can win, thus continuing the war. Crosetto pledged Italian military support will continue while his government remains in office, though parliamentary approval for further deliveries will become harder as elections approach. He also blamed Russian disinformation campaigns for shaping skeptical Italian public opinion.
