This was stated by EU industry leader Thierry Breton in an interview with the French newspaper Le Parisien.
We are going to intensify our efforts to deliver weapons and ammunition – this is a high-intensity war and they play a decisive role. We are preparing for the fact that the war will last for several more months, or even longer, – quotes the European Commissioner for the internal market Thierry Breton Reuters.
According to him, Europe is preparing for the fact that the war will last for several more months, or even longer.
Breton also recalled the EU’s commitment to supply one million large-caliber weapons over the next 12 months.
In addition, a few days ago, the American publication Voice of America reported that Ukraine would receive 14 more Leopard 2 tanks for funding from Denmark and the Netherlands. True, the timing of the arrival of these weapons in Ukraine has not yet been announced.
Ukraine launched a long-anticipated counteroffensive in early June to liberate its Russian-occupied territories, but lacks the weapons and ammunition needed to overcome the formidable defense lines built by the Russian army over the past few months.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin last Thursday urged Ukraine’s European partners to “dig deeper” to provide Kyiv with more arms and ammunition.
