EU to double ammunition supplies to Ukraine

This was announced by the Chairman of the Military Committee of the European Union, Robert Briger.

Briger's statement came after a meeting of EU defense chiefs in Brussels.

The goal is to deliver 2 million large-caliber ammunition to your country (Ukraine — ed.) this year. That is, we are talking about doubling the amount that was delivered last year.

According to Briger, the EU will encourage member states to produce and purchase more ammunition to achieve this goal.

We are trying to encourage member states to buy more, to produce even more, using contracts awarded by the European Defence Agency. But we are also putting forward new initiatives, whether financial or through intensifying cooperation with the Ukrainian defence industry.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the EU has been actively supporting Ukraine: from economic and budgetary assistance to humanitarian projects and the restoration of destroyed infrastructure.
