Since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, the European Union member states took several steps against the Russian government, especially in terms of individual and economic sanctions to publicly condemn the illegal and unjustified aggression of February 2022. Furthermore, the EU community expressed solidarity with Ukraine through a number of humanitarian missions and economic assistance operations, designed to help the country’s economic recovery and help civilians at risk. In terms of military support, the EU has usually devoted few resources to the defence sector, in contrast to the extended defence budget of the United States. However, this war has been recognized as a wake-up call for the EU which - for the first time - devoted funds for the supply of lethal weapons to a third country. Specifically, the European Peace Facility (EPF) has become the most important budget- tool for the EU to implement a number of active military operations and assistance missions. The latest project put forward by the EU - and partially connected to the EPF - has been a three-track proposal meant to collectively provide Ukraine with additional artillery ammunition. Despite the criticism and doubts that have been raised on the subject, this newly drafted proposal represents a landmark juncture for the EU in terms of military and defence efforts.
