Currently, the European Union has supplied Ukraine with approximately 300 thousand of the million shells it promised.

The European Commission believes that the EU will be able to produce one million bullets for Ukraine before the spring of this year, despite the fact that the process has slowed down. This was said by the press secretary of the European Commission for Defense Industry, Johanna Bernsel, in a briefing in Brussels on Thursday, January 11.

“The European industry already has a production capacity of more than one million artillery shells and we will reach this target in the spring,” he said.

The official representative of the EU foreign policy service, Peter Stano, noted that within the framework of the EU’s commitment to supply Ukraine with 1 million shells per year, by the end of 2023, less than half of this figure was given.

“It became possible to provide more than 300 thousand shells and 300 thousand missiles from the existing stocks. And as the contracts increase (on the purchase of ammunition by EU countries – ed.), there will be more delivery. More than 20 contracts were signed from government procurement, and, according to government procurement data, and, in December, these contracts allowed the supply of at least 180 thousand shells,” said Stano.

Let’s remember that in March 2023, at the summit, the leaders of the European Union supported a plan to provide ammunition to Ukraine in the amount of 1 million artillery shells over the next 12 months.

President Vladimir Zelensky called on Estonia to put pressure on the EU to speed up the supply of one million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine.
