Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has called for a ban on the export of artillery shells from European countries to countries other than Ukraine. He said this in an interview with Germany's RND amid a shortage of ammunition in the Ukrainian army.

"All contracts for the export of ammunition produced in Europe to third countries should be terminated, and all such ammunition should be sent to Ukraine. Every round produced in Europe should serve to protect Europe," Kuleba emphasized.


In addition, Kuleba accused Western allies of the lack of ammunition.

"I complain about the lack of ammunition at every meeting with our partners. They are all aware of this and have made mistakes that they admit. They decided too late to increase their own production, sign long-term contracts and launch new production lines. Unfortunately, we are now paying for these mistakes. We are making every effort to ensure that ammunition is now purchased by European states in third countries and provided to Ukraine," the minister added.
