In the fog of war in Ukraine, ammunition** has become a major focus on the battlefield. Ukraine**Zelensky recently expressed his dissatisfaction with the speed of Western support, especially on the issue of shells promised by the European Union**. According to him, Ukraine has so far received only 30% of the promised shells. This figure is far below the expectations and needs of the Ukrainian army, raising questions about the strength of EU support.
However, Thierry Breton, the European Commission's internal market commissioner, responded to this, pointing out that Zelensky had misunderstood. Breton explained that in March last year, 27 member states decided to "** 1 million shells" in a year, and ** did not equate to "giving free of charge". He made it clear that there are three ways in which the ammunition ** is committed by the EU: it is given free of charge, Ukraine buys it directly from EU production sites, and individual EU countries provide it separately. At present, Ukraine has received 300,000 artillery shells for free, and this number is expected to increase to 550,000 by the end of March.
This revelation shows that the EU's support for Ukraine has not diminished, despite the misunderstanding of the exchange. In fact, Bredon also promised that through these three channels, the total number of shells finally delivered to Ukraine will be "well over 1 million". This commitment, if realized, would greatly enhance Ukraine's defense capability.
In this ongoing conflict, the importance of ammunition ** cannot be overstated. It is not only about victory or defeat on the battlefield, but also an important manifestation of the international community's support for Ukraine. Although there have been communication problems in the implementation of this EU aid plan, the intention behind it is clear.
This incident also reflects the importance of accurate transmission of information in tense international relations and complex war environments. Any misunderstanding can lead to unnecessary political tension and public misreading. Therefore, for Ukraine and the EU, maintaining open and clear lines of communication and ensuring transparency and accuracy of information are indispensable parts of supporting Ukraine's efforts to resist aggression.
Over time, cooperation between Ukraine and the EU will continue to be closely watched by the international community. In this process, both sides need to work together to overcome communication barriers and ensure the smooth implementation of the assistance plan. Only in this way can we effectively support Ukraine in preserving its sovereignty and territorial integrity in this crisis.
