According to RIA Novosti, he said that this issue would be raised by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at a meeting with ministries and advisers.

“Of course, the issue of ammunition, which interests us, will be discussed in essence.

The point is that the federal government and the Bundestag want to spend 20 billion euros of the budget to replenish supplies,” he added.

Earlier, Bundestag Defense Commissioner Eva Högl said that Germany needs to buy €20 billion worth of ammunition in order to fully provide its armed forces.
