Defence Ministers from EU member countries on Wednesday convened in Stockholm for talks over a two-billion euro plan of providing howitzer shells to Ukraine so that the country will improve its fighting capabilities against Russia. A final decision on the aforementioned project is expected during a similar conference due on March 20th. According to press agencies, Ukraine has cautioned that the quantity is not enough to make the difference in the war against Russia. Ukraine’s Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov, who also attended the conference in Stockholm, says that his country needs at least one million 155mm artillery shells, which would cost 4 billion euros, double than the plan presented in Stockholm. The total EU support for Ukraine presently stands at 12 billion euros.
