The EU misses its artillery promise: "Ukraine needs more support"
The EU countries will not succeed in the goal of supplying Ukraine with one million artillery shells before March, foreign minister Josep Borrell says according to AFP.
Instead, it is about 500,000 this spring, but there could be as much during 2024 as the member countries' production ramps up.
He urges the countries to act faster and with more force because the "battles on the front line" are fierce.
- And Ukraine needs more support.
Similar calls are heard from Germany, which gives Ukraine the most support.
