The European Commission said it will be able to supply Ukraine with 1 million shells by spring.

According to him, by the end of March-April, Europe will be able to produce about a million ammunition.

“In other words, we are keeping our word (given to Ukraine. -

)... By the end of this year we will be able to produce another million to one and a half million ammunition in Europe,” RIA Novosti quotes the European Commissioner.

Breton added that the EU will announce financial support for more than 20 companies and manufacturing plants to close the issue of producing the necessary components.

“We need to make sure that now everything we produce will first go to Ukraine - to be sure that we can supply what is needed in Ukraine,” he emphasized.

At the same time, The Spectator noted that Europe does not have the ability to modernize its own defense systems and at the same time provide “adequate” assistance to Ukraine, and without the participation of the United States, things will be even worse for the Europeans.

Slovak Defense Minister Robert Kaliniak fears that the republic risks being left without air defense systems that could cover it.

He recalled that the allies had withdrawn Patriot systems from the country, and the Italians may not extend the mission to deploy SAMP/T systems.

Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin also reported that the US Congress will not approve aid to Ukraine in the coming months.
