Ukraine Set to Receive Major Artillery Ammunition Boost

European allies and potential U.S. aid aim to bolster Ukraine's firepower against Russia.

Ukraine's artillery crisis may soon improve with a significant influx of shells from European allies and potentially the U.S., aiming to match Russia's firepower.
Several initiatives, including a European Union arms deal and a Czech-led bulk ammo-purchase, are set to deliver at least 700,000 shells to Ukraine in the coming months.
The U.S. Congress may end its blockade of aid to Ukraine, potentially adding over a million shells to Ukraine's arsenal as spring turns to summer.
Russian forces have been sustained by a steady supply of ammunition from North Korea, firing around 10,000 shells a day.
The Czech Republic plays a key role as a middleman in securing 800,000 artillery shells for Ukraine, with financing from multiple countries.
