TL;DR Summary

Ukraine's Foreign Minister criticized the EU for failing to implement its decision to jointly purchase ammunition for Ukraine as the bloc's members disagree on how to spend the €1 billion set aside for joint contracts. Talks will continue next week, and EU foreign ministers won't have a deal in hand when they meet on Monday to discuss the war. France has been leading the charge to keep the money within the bloc, while others fear that Europe's defense industry may not be up to the task of delivering 1 million shells to Ukraine in the promised timeframe of 12 months.
