The European Union is expected to increase its annual production of 155mm artillery munitions that are being actively used by Ukrainian troops to 1.4 mln shells by the end of this year, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission (EC) Valdis Dombrovskis said in a statement released by the EC, APA reports.

According to the statement, "the production capacity of 155mm ammunition of EU Member States is expected to reach at least 1.4 million shells per year by the end of 2024."

According to data from the EC, EU member countries have fulfilled 70% of the bloc’s plan to send 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine. Efforts to increase production of ammunition and enhance European defense industrial capacity are "key to ensure long-term assistance to Ukraine and also to replenish Member States' stocks," Dombrovskis emphasized.
