The head of the European Commission promised to start joint purchases of ammunition by European countries for the needs of Ukraine

February 24 2023

The EU countries will start the practice of joint procurement of ammunition for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was stated by the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, who published a corresponding statement on social networks.

According to von der Leyen, European countries will increase military assistance to Ukraine. In particular, the EU countries will jointly purchase ammunition, including 155 mm caliber, for the needs of Ukrainian armed forces. As follows from the statement of the head of the European Commission, joint efforts are planned to provide Ukraine with urgent military goods.

In addition, the head of the European Union said that the leadership of the European Commission is working with military industry enterprises. They are expected to increase the production of ammunition and military equipment for subsequent deliveries to Ukraine.

Earlier, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who today met in Tallinn with Ursula von der Leyen and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, announced the need to purchase a million artillery shells for Ukraine.

Such statements by representatives of the European Union and European countries indicate that there is a really difficult situation with ammunition in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Russia has a significant superiority over the Armed Forces of Ukraine in terms of artillery and ammunition.

The European industry is not able to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the number of shells required for daily combat operations. Therefore, the only way out of the situation remains the purchase of ammunition, including in third countries, since the European defense industry cannot be quickly rebuilt on a “military footing”.

  They will force you. They just very slowly realize and admit that they are conducting military operations against us. So let them not be surprised when they reach the top and courage appears, but why us.

  Laughing right is not a sin, but Russia has completely and irrevocably lost the information war and does not shine on the battlefield. And its red lines cause nothing but disdain in the West and annoyance among its adequate population.

Ursula is a great specialist in purchasing. Her sweaty hands organized non-competitive purchases of Pfizer covid vaccines for the European Union, which turned out to be ineffective. For 71 billion euros! And at the same time, millions of euros accidentally rolled back and rolled back. And at the same time, by coincidence, her husband worked in this company! Now the investigation is underway. But she's not enough. Want to do this stuff again! We need to look where her husband will be transferred. Nothing but a shell factory!

  You have to work at the factory and there is little profit, but buying and selling shells is a huge help for the "poor" Ursula der Klein.

  Purchasing Ursula is a great specialist
  
  Don't touch the main plug for porn sites! She is so delightfully incompetent - that she is more of a "friend" than an "enemy" to us!

The European defense industry is asking to be rebuilt on a war footing. The same Rheinmetal repeatedly appealed to the government and stated that it was ready to become the No. 1 shell manufacturer in the world. He does not even ask for funding, but co-financing. His problem is the production of gunpowder and he asks the state to help with a gunpowder factory.

  And in the whole European Union now there are problems with gunpowder, not only at Rheinmetall. Just the other day, French Defense Minister Sebastian Lecornu danced a minuet in Dakar for joy that he was given 60 million euros to ensure that Eurenco moved the plant from Sweden to France. In France, they closed the factories, so a bummer came out with 155-mm shells for Ukraine.

Does Ursula still have ponies left on the estate? Agent Wolf Snowball, smiled slyly: I don’t have any cartridges, but here about some shells. Who would explain to Ursula, shells don’t grow on trees, we need to build factories, buy machines, recruit staff. This takes time.

  Build factories, produce shells, fat for the manufacturer, and Ursula - "They carry chacha by the company, cherry plum by the nose, but buy this and chacha with cherry plum in the mouth. It's not for nothing that Kaya's friend said about 1 lemon of shells, the fat is not frail. And most importantly is through whom and where to send the goods.

  Well, approximately, who will give how much to the porch, and Ursula will buy. "The stump is clear" 90% will fall on Germany and 0,5% will fall on the Tribalts.

  If you think so, then the Germans, together with all of Europe, bought shells in that war. One is small, the other and all in one Wehrmacht. It was inexpensive for every country. Where can one see non-intervention here? And why can't the DPRK, together with the Russian Federation, be purchased together with the soldiers,

  how she imagines
  
  They are just trying to solve the logistical chaos with ammunition in this way - if all deliveries are organized from one center, then there will be less confusion. On the other hand, it will become easier for us to track them.

Earlier, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas announced the need to purchase a million artillery shells for Ukraine.

Wow, how powerful! Either she will not allow Russia to withdraw from the START Treaty (and forbids Russia from even discussing this), or she buys a million shells for the ukrovermacht ...
Does she even know anything about her country, its place and significance in the global geopolitical system?
All that Estonia can prevent is the transition of its citizens to the red light of intersections in their cities. And that is not a fact. And all that Estonia can buy is two dozen primers for shells ...

  Does she really know anything about her country?
  
  You didn't understand anything. She does not want to buy herself with her own money. She, Kaya Kallas, wants only to control and carry out deliveries. Like - so that Estonia has a logistics center for the supply of ammunition to Ukraine from the entire European Union. We even benefit from this arrangement.
