Russia has flown at least 15 flights to Italy using military transport planes with truck-based disinfection units. Eight medical brigades and another 100 personnel include some of its most advanced nuclear, biological and chemical protection troops.
France has given us 2 million masks, Germany has sent us a few dozen ventilators. (Prime Minister Guiseppe) Conte requested and obtained some planes from Russia that brought 180 doctors, nurses, ventilators and masks, Italys government commissioner for the coronavirus emergency, Domenico Arcuri, told RAI on Sunday.

Some politicians are rightfully pissed off at the EU:

We will vindicate our pride of being Italians, in the most beautiful country in the world.
I hope no-one will mortgage the future of our children in exchange for small change from Europe today.
It comes after Italy was lent support and help by China, Cuba and even Russia as healthcare staff struggle to cope with the increasing numbers of COVID-19 patients.

I'd probably take the latter link/quote with a grain of salt since Salvini is an alt right europhobic troll, but the point does sting.
