Global Ammunition Shortage Threatens Intensity of Warfare and EU Support to Ukraine

Ukraine's Strategic Industries Minister, Oleksandr Kamyshin, stated that no single country can produce enough ammunition to meet the current intensity of warfare. Despite increased production capacities by both Ukraine and its foreign partners, the demand for artillery ammunition remains insatiable. Kamyshin emphasized that even if all European, American, and Ukrainian production capacities were multiplied, it would still not be enough to meet the needs at the front. He stressed the importance of continuing to increase production even after the war, as Ukraine would still need to be prepared for potential future conflicts.
