The European Union is finalizing a €2 billion plan to finance joint purchases of artillery ammunition.
In principle, by the end of the week, the European Union should finalize a plan for 2 billion euros to finance joint purchases of artillery ammunition to counter the offensive of Russian troops. This project should allow the supply of at least one million 155-mm shells to Ukrainian troops and replenish the strategic stocks of EU countries, some of which are close to depletion.
Two member states, the Netherlands and Italy, still have reservations on the plan, but they are due to be lifted during a meeting of foreign and defense ministers in Brussels today. The agreement will then be presented to EU leaders for their summit on Thursday and Friday.
Interview with Xi and Zelensky?
Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Xi Jinping plans to speak with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky soon, a move the White House called a “very good thing to do.”
Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit Russia on Monday.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will be received in Russia on Monday by his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. China intends to “play a constructive role in advancing the peace talks,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.
