EU Summit Plans to Boost Military Production and Ship 1 Million Shells to Ukraine

Countries taking part in the upcoming EU summit are set to discuss expanding the bloc’s capacity to produce military equipment and a coordinated plan to deliver one million artillery shells to Ukraine over the next year. The discussions are slated for March 23 and 24 and are outlined in a formal letter issued by Charles Michel, president of the Council of Europe. The document underscores a shared objective among EU members to ramp up industrial output in the defense sector, streamline logistics, and secure the necessary financing to sustain such support through a 12‑month window.
