Slovakia likely to hand over MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine

Package contains 155 mm shells, contributing to the European Union's initiative to provide one million shells to Ukraine, part of the funding provided by Denmark. The exact volume of ammunition provided has not been disclosed for security reasons. 155mm shells are of crucial importance in conflicts in Ukraine, & depending on volume committed, this could represent significant and strategic aid.

It highlighted crucial importance of ammunition, air defense systems, spare parts, & electronic warfare equipment for Ukraine as summer approaches.

It's a race to who can produce the most of these 155 mm shells, to give an example, the American army revealed a new contract valued at 1.5 billion dollars, aimed at increasing the global production of these artillery munitions to support Ukraine and replenish stocks. 

These pieces of info underline the international importance given to improving ammunition production capabilities. The downside of this announcement is undoubtedly the lack of detail, as neither the type nor number of materials sent to Ukraine is known, only the total aid has been communicated by Estonian defense ministry.

Furthermore, European Commission announced by the end of March 2024, about 500,000 artillery shells will have been delivered to Ukraine.

Ukraine war: Russia says U.S. defended Kyiv too quickly after terror attack; Ukraine reshuffles security chiefs. Russian officials continue to accuse the West and Ukraine of involvement in the Crocus City Hall attack last Friday in which 139 people were killed.

Ukraine denies any involvement and the White House said last Sunday that "ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack," using an acronym for the Islamic State militant group, which said it was behind the attack. White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson added that there was "no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever."
