Estonia calls on EU countries to provide 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine

Ukraine urgently needs one million artillery shells to defend itself, and the security of all of Europe, Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs Urmas Reinsalu said at the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Brussels on Monday, reported from foreign media sources. 

"According to Estonia's proposal, the EU states could provide one million artillery shells," he said. "At current production capacities, it will take Europe four years to produce this amount. Ukraine cannot wait that long. We need to significantly improve our production capacity -- Estonia proposes to do it within six months. We can only ensure Ukraine's victory if we act fast. It is my wish that decisions in principle should be made already within the coming weeks."
