The European Union has promised to speed up weapons deliveries to Ukraine The bloc expects the conflict to last “several months” more or even longer, its industry chief says.
EU Internal Markets Commissioner Thierry Breton has said Ukraine needs more weapons more quickly. Speaking to French daily Le Parisien on Saturday, the EU industry boss said the bloc must ramp up its production to live up to its pledge to supply a million high-caliber munitions over the next 12 months, according to a report by RT.
“We are going to step up our efforts to deliver arms and ammunition – this is a war of high intensity in which they play a crucial role,” Breton stated. “Our support is not conditional. What is imperative is for Ukraine to recover its freedom and its territory. We are determined to provide it with all the support it needs,” he stressed.
