Czech ** Peter Pawell proposed to the Munich Security Conference to purchase 80 000 artillery pieces from Ukraine, a proposal strongly endorsed by the Netherlands.
"I feel that we should do our best to procure ammunition from Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people must continue to fight," he said. They were fighting for their own freedom and maintaining the stability and stability of Europe. Hank Zai, the mayor of the Netherlands, told a reporter from Channel 24: "We should help them as much as possible.
According to her, the European Council is currently working on several proposals to strengthen the defense industry of EU countries, while also considering further assistance to Ukraine.
I am sure that Europe will take up this proposal to buy ammunition, which will bring a new opportunity to Ukraine, and at the same time give us assistance. The Netherlands has provided more than $2 billion in aid to Ukraine this year so that we can make positive efforts to make peace in Ukraine and fight against Russia's invasion.
According to Hank Bruns Solow, outside of Europe, the West is unlikely to refuse to buy arms. She noticed,"Whenever the Netherlands sees an opportunity, it will pay attention to it. "
Earlier in February, the Europeans frankly stated that they did not have the conditions to give Ukraine a million artillery pieces by March. In response to Ukraine's needs, the Czech Republic** has made a proposal to purchase 800,000 artillery pieces from countries outside Europe, including 500,000 155 mm guns and 300,000 122 mm guns, and the Czech Republic has found a supply channel.
At the General Assembly of Permanent Representatives of the European Union, the majority of the member states were in favor of the procurement of artillery from outside the European Union through a common **, but France, Greece and Cyprus were opposed to this. The European Union's "veto" system rather than an "absolute majority" has allowed individual member states to often drag Europe down and prevent it from developing into a powerful political institution.
