The European Union continues to help Ukraine in the fight against Russian terrorists. Thus, the EU countries almost agreed to speed up the delivery of artillery shells to our state.
Also, the EU plans to purchase even more ammunition for Ukraine. However, countries still need to think about how to make these plans a reality.
EU plans to accelerate the supply of ammunition to Ukraine
On March 8, EU countries agreed to speed up the supply of artillery shells and purchase more ammunition for Ukraine. Josep Borrell, head of EU diplomacy, spoke about this.
According to Borrell, EU countries will receive financial incentives of 1 billion euros to send more artillery shells to Ukraine. Also, another 1 billion euros will be spent on the joint purchase of new shells.
We have reached general agreement on this procedure, but there are issues that have not yet been resolved. Everything should be discussed in detail, – said the head of EU diplomacy.
Borrell hopes the EU plan will be agreed upon at the March 20 meeting of EU foreign and defense ministers.
