Zajímavé, co vylezlo na světlo. Místo neustálého kritizování, že USA nedodalo to či ono, Zelensky pozradil, že EU dodala pouze 30% slíbených dělostřeleckých granátů.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed that EU nations have only managed to deliver 30 per cent of their pledged artillery shells, once again underscoring the hapless state of Europe’s military capabilities.
While establishment media, Eurocrats, and Kyiv have all pointed their fingers at the United States and the ongoing dispute over further American funding of Ukraine as a reason for recent battlefield losses to the Russians, President Zelensky revealed that the apparent artillery shortage is in large part due to failures of the EU to meet its commitments. Out of the million shells that the European Union promised us, not 50 per cent came, but 30 per cent, unfortunately,” Zelensky told reporters this week according to the EU-funded Euractiv website.
Brussels committed last year to send at least a million shells to Ukraine by March of this year, however, in January, the bloc admitted that it would only be able to meet half that, with around 524,000 shells planned to have been delivered by the end of next month. Yet, so far, only 355,000 ammunition artillery rounds have been sent to Kyiv from EU states. They now claim that they will surpass the million shell mark by the end of the year.
Původně bylo slíbeno nejméně 1 milion kusů, pak EU připustila, že bude schopni dodat okolo 524 000, dosud však bylo posláno Kijevu jen 355 000 s příslibem, že bude překonán limit 1 000 000 do konce roku.
Republikánský senátor J.D. Vance řekl, že evropské národy jsou dost bohaté na to, aby se zasadily o plnění požadavků. Není férové, aby bylo požadováno od Američanů vyplnit mezeru za cenu obrovských výdajů.
