German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Monday the majority of countries in the European Union were not delivering sufficient weapons to Ukraine to help it battle a Russian invasion, calling upon allies to increase their efforts. "As significant as the German contribution is, it will not be enough to ensure Ukraine's security in the long run," Scholz said at a joint news conference with Luxembourg's new Prime Minister Luc Frieden.

"Therefore I call on allies in the European Union to strengthen their efforts regarding Ukraine. The planned weapons deliveries to Ukraine of most EU member states are not enough," he added.
