"NATO Secures Massive Ammunition Deal to Support Ukraine and Allies"
NATO has signed a 1.1 billion euro contract for 155mm artillery ammunition, with some of it destined for Ukraine due to ammunition shortages. The deal, facilitated by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, involves several allies including Belgium, Lithuania, and Spain. The contract is expected to yield around 220,000 rounds of artillery ammunition, with deliveries set to begin at the end of 2025. This is part of NATO's efforts to address military stock shortfalls and support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
