Germany and France want better ammunition supply for Ukraine

Paris, 5 March 2024 (dpa/MIA) - Germany and France want to work together to ensure a better supply of ammunition to Ukraine, as discussed by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and her French counterpart Stéphane Séjourné in Paris on Tuesday.

 

During the meeting, the two ministers spoke about possible global procurement of ammunition for Ukraine, which is facing full-scale attack by Russia.

 

Afterwards, there was talk from delegation sources of good and trusting discussions about how Germany and France could support Ukraine with concrete steps.

 

Ways to counteract attempts to destabilize Moldova were also discussed.

 

"United and determined: together we are strong," Baerbock wrote about the meeting on X, formerly Twitter.

 

Séjourné wrote: "Our two countries are fully committed to Ukraine's side and we are working together to do more and better."

 

Earlier in the day, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that his country supported the Czech initiative to procure around 800,000 artillery shells for Ukraine from countries outside the EU.
