Previously, it was pointed out that the word “army” would be omitted due to the insistence of the League party, part of the ruling coalition, which opposes the supply of weapons to Kiev. In the end, however, all that remained was a directive to “give priority to logistical, sanitary and civil purposes” to “protect against attacks by air and missiles and drones.”
