MOSCOW, May 13 Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas in In an interview with Newsweek, she called plans to send a million artillery shells to Kiev insufficient.
«The fact that joint purchases continue is good. Is that enough? That's for one year. I think not,» she said.
The publication reminds that the European Commission recently presented a plan to increase production capacity to a million shells per year. At the same time, various experts say that it is impossible to expect immediate results, even if large sums are invested in the defense industry. Moreover, according to Newsweek, the Russian military, according to available data, strikes more artillery shells in a day than the EU can produce in a month.
As President Vladimir Putin emphasized, Russia does not seek to spin the flywheel of the Ukrainian conflict, but his. But Western countries are constantly talking about the need to continue hostilities. Moscow has repeatedly stated that Western military assistance does not bode well for Ukraine and only prolongs the conflict, and transport with weapons becomes a legitimate target for the Russian army.
