02/06/2023
The European Parliament voted Thursday in favor of increasing the production of ammunition, mainly artillery shells, and missiles, amid Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to a press release circulated after the plenary session.
The members of the European Parliament thus approved a draft law to accelerate the production of ammunition to be made available to Ukraine and replenish the stockpiles of the Armed Forces of European countries.
The European Parliament will have to negotiate the final measures with the governments. Based on the draft, the EU’s production capacity will be increased with targeted measures, including funding of half a billion euros.
