Germany joins the projectile coalition and will buy ammunition worth hundreds of millions of euros.

Germany will take part in the Franco-Czech initiative to purchase hundreds of thousands of artillery shells for Ukraine’s armed forces, said Steffen Hebestreit, a representative of the German government.

Projectile procurement will occur in countries that are not members of the European community within the EU. Germany is actively negotiating with the Czech Republic on this issue, and a decision will be made soon.

It is also noted that Germany’s contribution to this project will amount to hundreds of millions of euros. According to the estimates, the Bundestag will purchase hundreds of thousands of shells.

The Ukrainian armed forces have repeatedly emphasized that the help of partners is necessary for an effective defense and the liberation of Ukrainian territory from the occupying Russian forces. In particular, the most significant deficit is in the supply of artillery systems, artillery shells, and missiles.
