The European Union has secured two-thirds of the 2 million artillery rounds pledged to Ukraine, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on April 14.<\/p>\n

“I’m happy to see we already have two-thirds of my ammunition initiative together,” Kallas told<\/a> reporters ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers<\/a> in Luxembourg, referring to an initiative to provide Ukraine with 2 million high-caliber rounds worth 5 billion euros ($5.7 billion).<\/p>\n

The initiative seems to be progressing, as Kallas said on April 3 that the EU had obtained only around half<\/a> of the needed amount from its members.<\/p>\n

The 2 million shells<\/a> are part of a broader proposal initially suggested by Kallas for a 40-billion-euro ($45.6 billion) defense fund for Ukraine. This more ambitious plan has yet to gain full consensus among EU leaders.<\/p>\n

The EU foreign policy chief stressed that the European bloc needs to do more, noting that European assistance commitments for this year are already greater than for 2024.<\/p>\n

“European countries have already committed to 23 billion euros ($26 billion), which is more than last year,” Kallas said. “But we also need to put pressure on Russia so that they would stop this war.”<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the EU summit, Kallas<\/a> emphasized the urgency of support, citing ongoing civilian casualties<\/a> from Russian attacks<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“It\u2019s been a month since Ukraine agreed to an unconditional ceasefire. We haven\u2019t seen the same from Russia,” she said. The comments come shortly after Russia launched a deadly missile attack<\/a> against the Ukrainian city of Sumy on Palm Sunday on April 13, killing over 30 people and injuring over 100.<\/p>\n

Kallas noted that the EU foreign ministers would discuss the consequences for Russia after its latest attacks on Ukrainian civilians over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo want peace, it takes two. To want war<\/a>, it takes only one,” she said. “Russia clearly wants war. Everyone who wants the killing to stop must apply maximum pressure on Russia<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
