Ursula von der Leyen called for increased production of ammunition for Ukraine and for the immediate replenishment of its arsenals.
The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, today, February 18, during the Munich Security Conference, said that the European Union should immediately increase the production of ammunition for Ukraine and replace its own stocks . Reuters writes about it.
“It is time to speed up production and increase the production of standardized products that Ukraine desperately needs, such as standardized ammunition,” von der Leyen said.
Ursula von der believes that the European Union can take advantage of the experience of the pandemic and order ammunition under preliminary agreements, as they did earlier with vaccines.
“We can imagine, for example, pre-purchase agreements, which will allow the defense industry to invest in production lines now, so that they work more and increase the volumes they can deliver,” said von der Leyen.
In addition, he emphasized that the European Union needs to immediately replenish its arsenals.
