EU pledges over $1 billion to refresh its arms factories for Ukraine
The European Union committed €500 million ($553 million) on Wednesday to beefing up the bloc’s ammunition production lines to better supply Ukraine, saying member states would match the sum with individual contributions.
The total of €1 billion to bolster output from factories across Europe will add to another €2 billion already committed by the EU to compensate members who donate their existing ammunition stocks to Kyiv as well to the joint purchase of fresh stocks to help halt Russia’s invasion.
These people are jokers, and this is merely pr nonsense. Their own defence stores are virtually empty while Russia is producing ten times what the west is producing. This is the kind of thing that happens when there is no journalism to inform the citizenry. Our leaders get away with outrageous behaviour. This war would not have occurred if people were honestly apprised of the real situation.
