EU's Ukraine Armament Plan Jeopardized by Explosives Shortage

The European Union's efforts to arm Ukraine against Russian aggression are being threatened by a shortage of explosives. The EU has been providing non-lethal military aid to Ukraine since 2014, but has recently approved the sale of weapons and ammunition. However, the shortage of explosives is causing delays in the delivery of arms, and could undermine Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian-backed separatists in the east of the country.
