Robin Brooks' claim that Italy gives "almost zero" aid to Ukraine and free-rides on Germany is false. Italy ranks 5th globally with ~$19.4B total aid. It exaggerates Italy's caution on seizing Russian assets into selfishness, ignoring major contributions & shared concerns https://www.kielinstitut.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker https://www.kielinstitut.de/publications/ukraine-support-tracker-data-6453/ https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/eu-set-indefinitely-freeze-russian-assets-removing-obstacle-ukraine-loan-2025-12-12/ https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-italy-joins-belgium-opposing-russia-frozen-assets-plan/
