The European Union intends to approve the Borrell plan to allocate 2 billion euros to Ukraine for the purchase of ammunition

The European Union will allocate 2 billion euros from the European Peace Fund for the purchase of ammunition for Ukraine. The proposal to expand military assistance to Kiev, made by the head of the EU foreign service, Josep Borrell, will be discussed today, March 20, by the ministers of defense and foreign affairs of the countries that are members of the European Union. This was announced by a source in the EU foreign policy service.

Europe intends to increase military assistance to Kyiv up to 2 billion euros, which will be used to purchase ammunition. It is proposed to spend one billion directly on the purchase of shells for both Soviet and Western-style guns, and to use the second billion for the production of ammunition in the long term by building factories for the production of ammunition.



The ministers will consider a three-phase plan: use €1 billion to supply both Soviet and Western-style munitions to Ukraine from existing stocks, allocate another €1 billion to secure urgent purchases of new ammunition that will go to Kiev and to replenish stocks in Europe, and start expanding their production in the long term

- said the source.

At the same time, in Kyiv they demand to buy ammunition as soon as possible and supply it to the Ukrainian army, as the Armed Forces of Ukraine "are suffocating without shells." The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Kuleba, travels around Europe with outstretched hands, giving interviews to foreign publications, not forgetting to repeat in each that Kiev will lose without shells, and Russian troops will go on to conquer Europe. According to him, today the West is not able to supply weapons and ammunition in the time required by Ukraine, since no one in Europe was ready for a long-term conflict.

We want partners to act faster. And if one delivery is delayed by one day, that means someone will die on the front lines.

- said the Ukrainian minister.

Meanwhile, Europe cannot quickly increase the production of ammunition, since there are no necessary components for this. And no matter how Zelensky and his entourage plead with their sponsors, the West will not be able to supply the required amount of ammunition in the near future.

    I don’t know what about 155mm, but at 152mm the “brothers” will definitely earn euros - in Bulgaria they will plow exactly in three shifts. They reopened the plant there for a reason and put it into operation at the expense of the US and the EU.

      Sabotage - and there is no factory .... there would be a desire, but associates can be found in Bulgaria ..

        I would not mind if, due to "sloppy smoking" there, this small factory blazed with a blue flame. finish.

      It’s not enough to get shells somewhere - they still need to be brought into the country and then delivered to the front .. And this is not a potato - you can’t pour them in bulk into a dump truck or onto a railway platform ..

      So - if our leadership did work on the logistics of Tsegabonia, it would simply be pointless to run after shells along Geyrop .. But it seems that the safety of the local railways is much more important than victory in the NWO ..

    The European Union will allocate 2 billion euros for the purchase of ammunition for Ukraine from the European Peace Fund.

    It is noteworthy that billions for the purchase of military ammunition are allocated from the European Peace Fund (EPF). And what is this hypocrisy? Call this fund the European Warfare Fund (EPW), so at least it will be honest.

      Watching how to perceive. There is the American world (Pax America). There is a European World that is built into the American one. The Foundation does not promote peace (ie the absence of war), but Euro-American centric peace.

    If they are suffocating without ammunition, why is our offensive going so slowly, it’s rather disinformation for the West to move more actively

    The European Union will allocate 2 billion euros from the European Peace Fund for the purchase of ammunition for Ukraine.

    You read how billions are being allocated now and in the future, and you compare how people are actively convincing that the West is about to stop helping Ukraine, well, just a little bit left, and it’s been like this since 2014, when every day there were articles that sanctions are here -that will be canceled and in general "The West is tired of Ukraine."
    But in reality
    spend one billion directly on the purchase of shells for both Soviet and Western-style guns, and use the second billion on the production of ammunition in the long term by building factories for the production of ammunition

    you understand that no one will spend billions on the construction of factories just like that, they are being built just for the long term.

      people are actively convinced that the West is about to stop helping Ukraine, well, just a little bit left, and so it has been since 2014, when every day there were articles that sanctions were about to be lifted and in general "The West is tired of Ukraine."

      It's true - a Google search for "The West is tired of Ukraine" yields approximately 297 links.

      Why should the West get tired? The peaceful life of the Western inhabitants has not changed in the least, and has not worsened.
      And the life of Western capitalists has even improved - their competitor in the form of Russia disappears from the world market, and a new sales market in the form of military equipment and ammunition is increasing.
      And the fact that the Slavs in Eastern Europe have been killing each other for a year now and there is no end in sight, so "less people - more oxygen."

      If you read Scott Ritter and McGregor ... this is such a carrot or opium for a part of the Russian population that we are about to overwhelm the enemy.

      So these same talking heads who are now talking about "the West is tired of Ukraine" in the summer shouted with three throats how Europe would freeze without Russian gas and wrote articles that they eat hamsters in the UK, and when missile testing began on Ukrainian critical infrastructure, they promised that their entire country will roll back into the 19th century. But now, some shyly prefer to pretend that they didn’t say all this, while others, like RT, quietly delete those news and “analytical” articles.
