The European Union has fallen 300,000 shells short of its pledged two-million-target military aid to Ukraine, according to top diplomat Kaja Kallas. Speaking on Monday, Kallas urged member states to prioritize military and financial support, noting that hundreds of thousands of munitions remain undelivered despite earlier commitments. Kallas pointed to the Czech Ammunition Initiative as a potential solution, stating that a million shells are now available through this separate effort. However, the initiative has faced criticism after an investigation revealed that Czech companies involved in the procurement charged commissions up to four times higher than Ukrainian state agencies. Additionally, some shipments arrived behind schedule, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the EU’s military support to Ukraine. Kallas emphasized the need for a redistribution of funds or other measures to address the shortfall, highlighting the growing urgency of the situation.
