Italy is considering sending troops to Ukraine as part of a potential UN-led peacekeeping mission.

The government has confirmed its willingness to participate if such a mission is approved, emphasizing the importance of international collaboration.

However, Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has expressed caution, highlighting the need for careful planning and lessons learned from past conflicts like Afghanistan.

Salvini also stressed the importance of prioritizing investments in schools and hospitals over military spending.

Italy currently has over 7,500 soldiers deployed worldwide in peacekeeping roles, and any new commitment would require parliamentary approval.

The debate reflects broader concerns about balancing national interests with global responsibilities.
