EU to provide Ukraine with €2 billion worth of artillery shells.
TL;DR Summary
The European Union has agreed to supply Ukraine with €2bn ($2.1bn) worth of ammunition, including 1 million 155-millimeter artillery shells, in the next 12 months. The EU will use €1bn to reimburse member states that immediately supply Ukraine with ammunition from their own stockpiles, and another €1bn to fast-track orders of ammunition specifically for Ukraine. The move comes amid concerns that Ukraine is using more shells than its Western allies are producing. The US has also authorised a new military aid package for Ukraine valued at $350m.
