A general view of a NATO Defence Ministers’ meeting at the Alliance’s headquarters in Brussels, Belgium June 16, 2023. REUTERSPIX: With Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russian troops ramping up, Western allies face the challenge of replacing lost equipment and supplying the vast quantities of ammunition Kyiv needs -- without undermining their own defence capabilities.
“The fighting will likely get tougher,“ wrote Jack Watling of Britain’s RUSI defence think-tank in an analyst note. “It is vital... that there is no diminution in the strengthening of the training programmes allowing Ukraine to continue to generate combat units, or the mobilisation of defence industry to put supply to the Ukrainian military on a sustainable basis,“ Watling said.
Members of the US-led Ukraine Defense Contact Group met in Brussels Thursday to talk supplies for Kyiv, ahead of a NATO defence ministers' meeting.“We’re looking at how we can keep up our aid to Ukraine while preserving our own defence capability,“ one European government source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The European Commission said in early May it would spend 500 million euros ramping up EU production of artillery shells to one million per year.
