EU Approves Historic Deal to Boost Ammunition Production for Ukraine

The budget committee of Germany's Bundestag has approved the procurement of additional ammunition for the Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzer, Leopard 2 main battle tank, and Puma infantry fighting vehicle. The move aims to meet the needs of the German armed forces, support Ukraine, and replace ammunition stocks previously sent to Kyiv. Germany has been providing significant amounts of ammunition to Ukraine since the start of the war against Russian invaders, but the demand remains high.
