EU Delivers One-Third of Promised Artillery Shells to Ukraine; Shortfall Raises Concerns
High Representative Kallas announced that EU member states have already pledged two-thirds of the €5 billion needed to provide Ukraine with 2 million artillery shells, a key part of her initiative to bolster military aid. While significant progress has been made, further contributions are needed to reach the full target. The ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians necessitate increased pressure on Russia to end the war, Kallas emphasized. This commitment builds upon existing efforts, such as the Czech initiative and Norwegian funding, to ensure a continuous supply of munitions to Ukraine.
