  Italian PM Giorgia Meloni says her government’s support for Ukraine may cost her politically, including among some of her own voters, but she has no intention of changing course. “I do not support Ukraine simply for the sake of the Ukrainians. I do it for Italy,” she said. Meloni argued that an international order where only the militarily strongest prevail is not in Italy’s national interest. #Italy

Load was shifted to other generating facilities and power is gradually being restored. There is scattered speculation about sabotage or an attack, but no evidence has been presented. #Russia

  ❗️Serbia’s student-led opposition says its election victory will not translate into sanctions on Russia or an end to Russian gas ties. One prominent representative said Russia will remain an important historical partner and that “nothing will change” in that regard. For Ukraine, Vučić’s defeat is therefore not automatically good news: the new majority may be more reformist domestically, but its foreign-policy line toward Moscow remains ambiguous. #Ukraine

  Italy’s Defense Minister Guido Crosetto sharply criticized restrictions on US satellite and intelligence support used by Ukraine, calling them a “complete mistake” that “makes absolutely no sense.” Crosetto argued that peace will come when Putin concludes he cannot advance further. “If he sees weakness on the Ukrainian side, and if the US deprives Ukraine of resources, that creates weakness, then he will believe he can win. So he will continue the war,” he said. #Ukraine
