Kallas drew attention to the fact that European allies have already provided Ukraine with almost 169 billion euros in financial support since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Against this background, the diplomat recalled the supply of large-caliber ammunition to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

So far, they (EU member states — ed.) have also provided 80% of our target of 2 million ammunition. By October, we aim to provide 100%.

The Czech Republic recently announced that, as part of the so-called "Czech initiative" for the purchase of ammunition around the world, monthly supplies to Ukraine have been secured until September.
