Europe to accelerate arms shipments to Ukraine - EU industry chief

The European Union is speeding up arms deliveries to Ukraine, EU industry chief Thierry Breton said on Sunday in an interview with French daily Le Parisien.

“We are going to step up our efforts to deliver arms and ammunition—this is a war of high intensity in which they play a crucial role,” Breton said, citing a pledge to supply a million high-calibre weapons over the next 12 months.

“We are preparing for the war to last several more months, or even longer,” he added.
