The passage of a convoy loaded with dozens of tanks amazed passengers at Udine train station.
The train, filmed by some people with cellphones on Friday, passed through the Italian train station at low speed towards Austria. According to some witnesses, they were 155 mm self-propelled howitzers of the M109 type, which apparently had no identification marks.
Delivery for Ukraine
Italian Minister for Relations with Parliament Luca Ciriani told public broadcaster Rai that these are “self-propelled artillery vehicles” destined for Ukraine and part of a military aid package “that of the previous one Government (around Prime Minister Mario Draghi, note) decided and was delivered this week”. Ciriani explained that the vehicles were stored in Italian depots.
Right-wing politician and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had already supported arms deliveries to Ukraine before she won the election in September last year. On the other hand, her two coalition partners – Matteo Salvini from the right-wing Lega and Silvio Berlusconi from the conservative Forza Italia – repeatedly made pro-Russian statements.
