Borrell expects EU to provide Ukraine with 1.155 mln ammunition rounds in late 2024
High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell expects to provide Ukraine with 1.155 million pieces of ammunition by the end of 2024.
"Our defence industry is increasing its capacity. It has increased [its production capacity] by 40% since the beginning of the war," Borrell said at a briefing with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in Kyiv on Wednesday.
He also said he could provide a specific number that relates to ammunition.
"By the end of the year, the total amount of ammunition delivered as donations will be about 1.155 million rounds, which is quite a precise figure," Borrell said.
