Seventeen EU countries, Norway agree to jointly buy ammunition for Ukraine and own stockpiles

"The project opens the way for EU Member States and Norway to proceed along two paths: a two-year, fast-track procedure for 155mm artillery rounds and a seven-year project to acquire multiple ammunition types," the agency said in a statement, according to the Jerusalem Post.

 

The countries signed a so-called project arrangement, setting out the terms of reference for their joint procurement effort. The document is a precursor to starting talks with the industry with the aim of signing contracts.
