This decision must be taken by every country. Only then will Ukraine be able to succeed in its defense against Russian aggression,&#8221; said the European officials in their statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;At the beginning of last year, the EU committed itself to an ambitious goal of supplying Ukraine with 1mn artillery rounds before the end of March 2024. The hard truth: we have fallen short of this goal,&#8221; the letter explains how the EU has already failed Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, the leaders claim it is crucial to provide the ammunition and weapon systems, including howitzers, tanks, UAVs and air defence &#8220;now, because new orders we place today will only reach the battlefield by next year&#8221; to make up for lost time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The signatories remind that Ukraine&#8217;s defeat would be a defeat for the entire Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRussia doesn\u2019t wait for anybody and we need to act now. If Ukraine loses, the long-term consequences and costs will be much higher for all of us. We Europeans have a special responsibility. Therefore, we must act. Europe\u2019s future depends on it,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement emerges ahead of a special EU summit which is to take place tomorrow, on February 1 and related discussions about Hungary&#8217;s role in adopting an aid package for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pravda.com.ua\/eng\/news\/2024\/01\/24\/7438694\/\">an interview <\/a>with Die Zeit, Scholz urged Europe to increase volumes of weapons supplied to Ukraine due to the US Congress dealing with migration issue. He pointed out that Germany was already &#8220;doing more than all other EU countries&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/russia-uses-nationalist-sentiments-in-europe-to-set-ukraine-and-its-neighbors-at-odds-isw\/\">Russia uses nationalist sentiments in Europe to set Ukraine and its neighbors at odds \u2014 ISW<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaders of 5 European countries, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Danish PM Mette &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":864217,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36415],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-864211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
