How is Kallas urging more military support?
Two days earlier, Kaja Kallas announced that she expects political agreement to be reached on supplying Ukraine with 1.5 million shells and other military supplies. The aid plan could be executed even without Hungary’s consent.
She showed hope that European Union members will be able to achieve a political agreement on her initiative concerning increasing military assistance to Ukraine, she said upon arrival at the EU summit on the defense of Europe and Ukraine.
“Even if we fail with the numbers at the March EU Council, which will take place at the end of March,”
She also said. When questioned how to deal with Hungary’s blockade, Kallas said:
“We still strive for the unity of the 27 members – and if that is not possible, then Hungary can speak for itself.”
According to the plan submitted by Kallas, as reported by Euractiv, European nations are to send around 1.5 million artillery shells, air defense equipment, and missiles, drones, and other supplies to Ukraine this year.
