EU approves €2B ammunition deal for Ukraine and expands lethal support to other countries.

The EU has agreed to donate and jointly purchase 1 million rounds of ammunition for Ukraine within the next year, with the possibility of also helping countries collectively buy missiles for Ukraine. The plan, which will be finalized at an upcoming EU summit, marks the first time the EU has jointly bought arms for a country at war. The funding for the €2 billion endeavor is expected to come from the European Peace Facility, and the plan also aims to explore ways to boost Europe's ability to manufacture the arms it needs for years to come.
