By 2025, Russia will be able to produce 30% more artillery shells than all EU countries. This will happen if there is no appropriate response or prevention, states Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.
“According to Ukrainian intelligence, next year, if there is no appropriate response or prevention, Russia will be able to produce 30% more artillery shells than all the countries of the European Union combined,” Sybiha said.
The minister added that it is necessary to think strategically about this and prevent it strategically. He clarified that he is primarily referring to the so-called shadow fleet, which even now helps Russia to continue to trade in energy and oil, bypassing sanctions.
“Therefore, it is very important that further strengthening the sanctions policy of the European Union and our partners focus on this aspect as well,” Sybiha summarized.
A week ago, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia was gradually increasing the activity of Shahed attacks. He noted that the aggressor country still has the ability to use Western components, so sanctions should be strengthened.
