EU’s artillery shell promises to Ukraine fall short of reality, investigation finds
An investigation found that the EU's production capacity for 155 mm artillery shells is at least half of what EU officials have stated.
Czech security adviser says funding for 800,000 shells for Ukraine not yet fully secured
Czech national security adviser Tomáš Pojar clarifies that funding for President Petr Pavel’s initiative to supply Ukraine with 800,000 artillery rounds only covers the first batch, despite pledges from 18 countries.
Czech national security adviser Tomáš Pojar indicated that the total cost of the Czech initiative to purchase 800,000 artillery ammunition rounds for Ukraine is not yet fully covered, suggesting that President Petr Pavel initially only considered the cost of the first delivery, according to Denik N.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference in mid-February, Czech President Petr Pavel said his country had found about 800,000 artillery shells abroad that could be sent to Ukrainian troops within a few weeks. Due to a months-long delay in US military aid, Ukraine has been experiencing shell shortages in its efforts to counter Russian aggression.
On 7 March, Czech President Pavel announced that, after the Norwegian contribution, the financing for this initiative is now fully secured, thanks to pledges from 18 countries, stating that the ammunition should be delivered to Ukraine in the coming weeks.
