EU Provides Ukraine with Ammunition Support Against Russian Aggression.
TL;DR Summary
The EU has agreed to provide Ukraine with one million artillery shells within the next 12 months, as part of a two-billion-euro plan to jointly purchase ammunition for the country. The plan involves raiding EU arsenals and fast-tracking new orders, as well as supporting the defence industry to ramp up production in the longer term. Germany has already called for countries to join its own effort, which it believes will go faster. The move comes as Ukraine complains of having to ration firepower in the face of Russia's year-long invasion. The US has also announced it will send Ukraine $350m in weapons and equipment.
