"European Allies Unite to Increase Weapon Procurement for Ukraine"

Germany, France, and Poland have pledged to procure more weapons for Ukraine and increase the production of military equipment in a show of unity, promising unwavering support for Kyiv amid its struggle against a better-provisioned Russian army. The European Union's plans to produce 1 million artillery rounds for Ukraine have fallen short, while aid for Ukraine is being held up in the United States due to political differences. The leaders also discussed a new "coalition for long-range rocket artillery" and reiterated their commitment to supporting Ukraine, but differences remain on the issue of sending Western ground troops to Ukraine.
