EU aims to speed up ammunition output for Ukraine

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, and Sanna Marin. I think it's now the time really to speed up the production and to scale up the production of standardized products that Ukraine needs desperately. For example, the standardized ammunition. It cannot be that we have to wait months and years until we are able to replenish or until we are able to deliver that to Ukraine. We could think of, for example, advanced purchase agreements that gives the defense industry the possibility to invest in production lines now to be faster and to increase the amount they can deliver.
