The European Union has already supplied Ukraine with weapons worth 45 billion euros. However, Borrell believes that the current level of aid remains insufficient to change the situation on the battlefield in favor of Ukraine.
The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that the European Union has transferred the promised million ammunition to Ukraine. The EU will train several tens of thousands more Ukrainian military personnel. He mentioned this in his column on the EU website.
“We just fulfilled our promise to give Ukraine one million rounds of ammunition, and by the end of winter we will also train 75 thousand Ukrainian soldiers,” Borrell said.
To date, the European Union has supplied Ukraine with weapons worth 45 billion euros. At the same time, Borrell believes that the current level of aid remains insufficient to change the situation on the battlefield in favor of Ukraine.
“We give Ukraine enough to last, and sometimes even less, while Russia moves its entire economy to a foundation of war and relies on the unconditional support of North Korea and Iran,” he emphasized. .
Let’s recall 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. Later it was found that the EU could not keep up with the supply of shells.
The media also wrote that the EU greatly overestimated its capabilities to produce shells for Ukraine.
At the same time, Ukraine was significantly helped by the initiative of the Czech Republic, thanks to which the Ukrainian Armed Forces receive thousands of shells every month.
