EU Leaders Approve Joint Ammo Purchases for Ukraine and Send 1 Million Rounds Over Next 12 Months.
EU leaders have endorsed a plan to send Ukraine 1 million rounds of artillery ammunition within the next 12 months to help the country counter Russia's invasion forces. The European Defense Agency will lead a fast-track procedure for direct negotiations with industrial providers of ammunition in Europe. Hungary has said it will not take part in getting ammunition to Ukraine, citing its commitment to peace, but said it wouldn't prevent other members from doing so by blocking the deal.
