- What is Borghi's perspective on the war and a potential ceasefire?
- Borghi believes that a ceasefire earlier in the conflict would have saved lives and reduced territorial losses. He suggests a majority within the governing coalition in Italy agrees on the need to avoid offensive military actions against Russia.
- What is the Lega party's stance on further military aid to Ukraine?
- The Lega party in Italy will continue to support Ukraine, but only with defensive weapons. They have voted in favor of all previous aid packages and will continue to do so, but are wary of any support that could escalate the conflict.
- What is the process for authorizing military equipment transfers to Ukraine?
- The upcoming decree will likely authorize the transfer of military equipment specified in a classified document, viewable only by members of the Copasir (Parliamentary Committee for the Control of Intelligence and Security Services).

- What concerns does the Lega party have regarding the next decree on military supplies?
- The next decree concerning military supplies to Ukraine is expected to be more delicate than previous ones. While the Lega supports economic and humanitarian aid as well as defensive weapons, they want to avoid anything that increases the risk of World War III.
- What specific concerns does Claudio Borghi express regarding the types of weapons being supplied?
- Claudio Borghi, a Lega commissioner, expressed concern over the types of weapons provided. He differentiated between defensive systems like Samp-T and offensive missiles like Storm Shadow, emphasizing the need to avoid any actions that could escalate the conflict.
