The European Union must find ways to quickly provide thousands of artillery shells to Ukraine or face the prospect that it might lose the war against Russia, top EU diplomats warned Monday, as ammunition stocks in national EU armories dwindle.
European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, center, speaks with Poland's Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau, right, and Portugal's Foreign Minister Joao Gomes Cravinho, left, during a meeting of EU foreign ministers at the European Council building in Brussels on Monday, Feb. 20, 2023. European Union foreign ministers meet Monday to discuss Ukraine, Afghanistan and the situation in Iran.
Last week, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that the waiting time for the supply of “large-caliber ammunition has increased from 12 to 28 months,” and that “orders placed today would only be delivered two-and-a-half years later.” “Russia uses daily the European Union produces per month, and in the current military industry capabilities, we can reach the need of Ukraine around six years, so this is fully unacceptable,” Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu told reporters.
