That is why we have just proposed a document on ammunition production – we call it ASAP. We want to spur our defence industry to increase the production of urgently needed 155-millimetre and 152-millimetre artillery shells. And those who can should provide artillery and long-range weapon systems that can help Ukraine level the playing field in the face of invading forces," said von der Leyen.
