Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 17:00:08 GMT

But his plea came as officials were given new details showing the EU still has a long way to go to meet its lofty pledges.According to several diplomats, Kuleba — who addressed a meeting of foreign ministers in Luxembourg via video link — was critical of the slow pace of the EU in delivering ammunition and missiles as part of a plan to provide 1 million shells in the next 12 months as Ukraine fights off Russia’s invasion.The plan has already been endorsed by EU leaders but, when it comes to the technical details, has only been partially agreed upon by member states, which are still discussing the so-called track two of the scheme, which involves the joint purchase of ammunition.The bone of contention is a legal one about exemptions for companies based outside the EU in the supply chain of the defense companie...
