The EU is sending one million artillery shells to Ukraine at the eye-watering price of two billion Euros, meanwhile the United Kingdom has confirmed it would be sending depleted uranium anti-tank rounds along with the main battle tanks it is donating to the country.
A long-anticipated arms procurement deal by EU members-plus-Norway through the European Defence Agency to procure and send one million 155mm artillery rounds [pictured, above] to Ukraine has been agreed, ending months of discussion.
The €2 billion ($2.15 billion) price tag will be divided in two tranches, the EU said, with the first billion used to compensate European Union nations for releasing shells from their own military stocks, with an aim to send these within two months. The second round of funding will be paid to armaments factories in European nations to make new shells for shipment.

The EU’s ambition is to have this delivery completed within 12 months, but there are questions over whether Europe’s armaments factories can ramp up production quickly enough to meet that target. Extra shells could have been bought from outside the European Union, but France has insisted on a buy-European policy to protect European industry.

Russia has had a DU round for their tanks since 2015, so we know what “respond accordingly” means.
Everybody wins, right? Welcome to the next level.
He’s the Sky News link where you can take your complaint. I’m sure they’ll be glad to respond.
Yeah, I noticed that too. CND are Cold War era and America hating pinkos.
Sky news didn’t use your account and start promoting that famously leftwing anti-America group here.
You did that.
Still scratching I see.
Putin’s job was to promote those groups to fight Reagan/NATO during the 1980s.
Here at FR caww took on the task of pushing this group to oppose America/NATO.
Next Level? Does the T-55 fire DU rounds? Here you go:
Upside is they’ve conquered the bottom of the Black Sea!
Because they will cut through the armor of their T-54 tanks. Putin wants us to use WWII bazookas to keep it fair.
What a strange lie.
Why not just explain why you chose that famous leftist group to back your position against our NATO assistance?
Haha… you believe Russia is pitting WW2 era tanks against the M1 Abrams?
Sad
the least you could do wave as I pass you by....again...
Quit trolling people and try to be an adult and Christian.
You are really not all there.
Nope. Don’t talk to them. Ex.
My own circles.
It’s not as if those rounds will be used on Russian soil, so
whatever Putin thinks about it, really is silly.
Those rounds are hardened and can penetrate tanks. If you
don’t want your tanks to be destroyed, keep them in the
museums.
Putin invaded and is now chagrined that the Ukraine and it’s
allies are actually fighting back. Isn’t that kind of a
fundamental fact about war. People fight back, trying to
win or turn the tide?
How did such an amazing military strategist miss this in
Bullying Your Neighbors 101?
I know Biden is helping the regime is Kiev, but the Ukraine is not America’s ally. It’s not even a friend to the USA. Just to the crooks in DC.
Well... I can see your point, but then we helped Russia in
WWII also. They were our allies for a time there.
Lets be honest, if our political criminals weren’t making
money hand over fist in the Ukraine, it wouldn’t be half
as crooked as it is.
