Bloomberg reports this with reference to a statement by the head of the Estonian Ministry of Defense Hanno Pevkur.
“At least seven more countries, including Poland and the Nordic countries, are ready to allocate additional funds to achieve this goal,” the publication says.
As the agency writes, even if the EU fails to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces with ammunition in March, the availability of additional funds means that the ammunition will ultimately be delivered to Kyiv.
In November 2023, the head of the German Ministry of Defense, Boris Pistorius, said that the European Union’s plan to supply 1 million ammunition to the Ukrainian Armed Forces is unrealistic.
The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Kuleba explained the delay in the supply of shells to the sad state of the EU military industry and bureaucracy.
