EU member states agree on joint munitions procurement for Kyiv -Germany

European Union member states have reached an agreement on the joint procurement of ammunition for Ukraine, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on the sidelines of a meeting with his EU counterparts in Brussels on Monday.

"Today, we will sign the respective documents," he told reporters, adding Germany would also open its national framework contracts with the defence industry to other partners as speed was of the essence in supplying Kyiv.

"Our goal has to be to ship a significant amount of munitions to Ukraine before the end of this year," Pistorius underscored.
