"Ukraine's Urgent Need for Artillery Shells Amidst Delayed Western Aid"
As the US stalls on providing military aid to Ukraine, Europe is leading a global effort to secure critically needed artillery shells for the Ukrainian military, with Germany, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and Canada at the forefront. President Zelensky highlighted the skyrocketing prices of artillery shells due to the war with Russia, creating a severe shortage for the Ukrainian army. The EU has committed to supplying Ukraine with a million artillery shells, but slow production and political wrangling have hindered the delivery. The US has also faced delays in providing aid, with Congress halting military support to Ukraine. European countries are exploring options to purchase shells from India and other manufacturers to bridge the gap.
