The European Union promised to supply Kyiv with a million shells at the beginning of 2024, but so far, according to the European Parliament, only 300 thousand have been delivered.

French President Emmanuel Macron has called on the country’s defense industry to ramp up production as Europe scrambles to increase arms supplies to support Ukraine. Bild reports this .

“We must strengthen the transformation we have begun in order to respond more quickly to Ukraine’s needs in the war against Russia. We cannot allow Russia to think that it can win,” Macron said in an address to the military.

According to Macron, “Russia’s victory will mean the end of European security.” He said defense companies are expected to increase production speed and volume, as well as innovate.

“We must never again be satisfied with production times that stretch over several years,” he added.

As you know, the European Union promised to supply Kyiv with a million shells by the beginning of 2024, but so far, according to the European Parliament, only 300 thousand have been delivered.
