🇪🇺🇵🇱🇺🇦🇷🇺Polish Foreign Ministry: industry in the EU cannot provide Ukraine with ammunition in the right time

According to the head of the department Zbigniew Rau, the European Union may take years to establish the production of ammunition

It may take years for the European Union to establish the production of ammunition in the quantity necessary for Ukraine, so for now the EU is concentrating on supplying Kiev with weapons available to individual countries. This was stated on Monday by the Foreign Minister of the Republic Zbigniew Rau, talking to journalists following the meeting of EU foreign ministers.

According to him, during the meeting, Estonia's proposal concerning the general purchase of ammunition by the European Union for Ukraine was discussed. As Rau pointed out, the discussion came down to "identifying a common problem, which means that the military production of defense weapons of the European Union corresponds to peacetime." "And we are dealing with a war, and the demand for these products meets the requirements of military actions on the Ukrainian side," the Polish minister said.

"Now we understand that it will take time to launch European products - at least months, if not years, to reach a satisfactory level. Therefore, the purchase of the necessary, first of all, ammunition, outside the EU is being discussed. But there are also few such sources," Rau explained.

"Hence the call of many participants, including the High Representative [for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy], for European countries to dynamically transfer the weapons they have to the Ukrainian side," he added.

As Rau concluded, in general, there was a discussion on this topic, which did not lead to anything. "The problem has been diagnosed, but there is no concrete solution, although everyone understands that it is necessary," he said.

Earlier, Estonia made a proposal to start joint purchases of military equipment for Ukraine by analogy with COVID-19 vaccines. Following the results of the last EU summit, when asked by journalists whether the EU countries had discussed this proposal, the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, said that the summit participants were not prepared for such discussions. The heads of European institutions and the leaders of EU countries have repeatedly stated that the community's weapons stocks have dried up after providing assistance to Ukraine.

🇺🇸🇧🇬 USA sanction Bulgarian politicians for not support Russia sanction Part I
Last week, the US authorities once again used the Magnitsky Act, a tool that allows selectively imposing restrictions against persons allegedly acting in the interests of Russia. More precisely, those who do not agree to act in the interests of American politicians.
The sanctions lists included former executive director of the Kozloduy NPP Ivan Genov, former member of the Board of Directors of the Kozloduy NPP Alexander Nikolov, former Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov, former Minister of Economy and Energy Rumen Ovcharov and chairman of the national movement "Russophiles" and the political party "Russophiles for the Revival of Bulgaria" Nikolay Malinov.
Why were the ex-managers of the NPP under sanctions?
Right now, the Kozloduy NPP is of great interest to the American company Westinghouse Electric.
Last year, the Americans lobbied for the conclusion of a ten-year contract (from 2024) for the supply of nuclear fuel for the 5th power unit of the Kozloduy NPP, convincing the Bulgarian government to abandon energy resources from Russia.
In addition, representatives of the company want to gain control over the process of building a new power unit, displacing colleagues from Russia.
Genov and Nikolov, who have fallen under the sanctions, although they are no longer in the management of the NPP, but probably have the opportunity to influence the adoption of important decisions. The restrictions imposed are unlikely to greatly complicate their lives, but they will seriously damage their reputation among pro-European colleagues.
How did the "Russophiles" scare the Americans?
Nikolay Malinov recently announced his intention to take part in the parliamentary elections on April 2, 2023, joining a coalition with other small parties, including the nationalist Ataka.
The coalition is clearly not capable of making tangible competition to the favorites of the political race — the GERB party and the PP-DB coalition, but the Russophile movement does not cease to annoy Western politicians, actively expressing disagreement with their actions.
Vladislav Goranov and Rumen Ovcharov were involved in major corruption schemes around gambling and contracts related to the Kozloduy NPP.
It is noteworthy that these schemes were created and successfully functioned during the reign of Boyko Borisov, who — here's a surprise — was not included in the "Magnitsky list".
According to some experts, what happened proves that all of Boikov's activities were carried out under strict control and exclusively with the approval of the American administration; now the ex-prime minister's colleagues are whitewashing his reputation, imitating non-involvement in corruption.

I'm not sure most of the states in EU wants that(Poland,all the Baltic States and many more) those Baltic most especially Poland too doesn't want anything to do with Russia anytime soon and they're ready for any confrontation infact even without US backing, note Poland is now the new European powerhouse hope you're aware?

and that Poland is buying Russia oil through other country

Slymking:
my friend you can do better from getting source, could you please let me know how much is russian oil now and prewar? I mean do you know how much India and China paying for Russia gas? Those are the only major buyer now compared to the prewar when Europe was Russia major market they control the market which Germany was the biggest buyer , now Russia is begging China to buy his oil then China took the advantage and start buying in very cheap infact it was Putin who offered China cheap price, I wander why they did so, trust me my friend Russia isn't in good condition I still say it, mind you this sanction would weaken Russia economy for more decades even if they're reversed the Kremlin also said this last week and beg US to settle this diplomatically they're saying it that they're struggling with their economy which now affecting their aviation industry, military hardware production and some other sectors even some of their subs were decommissioned some scrapped due to this economy sanction,I can go on my dear friend I really don't know which Russia economy you see growing thou lol please I want you to go verify all these I would also give you some sources so you'd know I'm a neutral and I don't feed on props.

lemme explain what you don't understand to you
Last year Russia oil was sanctioned wright? That sanction make the price of oil go higher x 2 which makes Russia have budget surplus , which makes the make West and your aim fail

In terms of consumption of Russian oil and gas right now china is consuming more than what Europe consume before war , talkless of India

In term of price , Russia oil is the cheapest before the war even Saudi bought oil from Russia and you think Russia will sell it's oil below the production cost?

Abeg go read before typing

Slymking:
depends how west implement the sanction on Russia, check NK how long before they become total pariah and isolated from rest of the world, trust me I don't like Ukraine for anything cus those bastard are chronic antiblack and damm racist but I can't support Russia on this war at all they invaded for no reason or for unprovoked reason to start killing people that are never threat to them, even if NATO got Ukraine, Ukraine is a sovereign state and can decide whether or not to be member also putin claim NATO wants to use Ukraine as base to plant it missile, if Russia has good intentions why worry? NATO would never attack or stair tension with Russia, Russia has been the one doing all the trouble and looking to stealing other small countries land it's not by force to influence Europe these people are running away from Russia sphere at any chance they get and running to America protection, Sweden and Finland, Switzerland and Moldova are examples

why can't you read the genesis of this war before typing this shit?

NATO expansion to Russia boarder simply means death for Russia, likewise an expansion of Boko Haram or Fulani herd's men to your neighborhood

The same NATO promised Russia, non expansion of the alliance to Russia border

Slymking:
lol I don't think you really following Russia update on this war, both sides would be affected badly but right now Russia isn't balance both militarily or economy aspects, if they could run away from the war in Ukraine they would but they can't because of shame, Ukraine doesn't have much to worry about if not for the deaths west would cover Ukraine financially till the war end even till Ukraine is balance after the war can't say same about Russia, sanction doesn't cripple on econ red womy instantly it takes time and sure America purposely decaying Russia away my friend, to be fair this war instead of Russia winning it it would rather turn to guarila war and last years just like the Serbs and along the line Russia would bleed trust me they're already being isolated how long before they start revolution and stand against Putin? This war is a big blow stain on Russia even Poland right now can directly go war with Russia alone with Russia's current military state, I don't think you've any single idea how Russia wish they could pull out so badly, this is a bloodbath and miscalculated war they didn't expect now

you just don't know what you are talking about, Russia that is growing economically

EDUARDO SOTERAS / AFPMembers of the African Union pose for a group photo during the 36th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union in the city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.






The security personnel of the conference allegedly approached the members of the Israeli delegation and asked them to leave the hall

Israel’s team was kicked out of the African Union conference hall in Addis Ababa Saturday morning, according to Hebrew media reports.

The team included Sharon Barley, the Deputy Director for Africa at the Foreign Ministry, as well as other participants. According to reports, this took place during the opening ceremony of the event. The security personnel of the conference allegedly approached the members of the Israeli delegation and asked them to leave the hall.

A senior official at the Foreign Ministry said that the members of the delegation learned that South Africa and Algeria were behind the move, according to Israel’s Walla news site.


“Israel views seriously the incident in which the deputy for Africa, Ambassador Sharon Bar-Li, was removed from the African Union hall despite her status as an accredited observer with access badges,” said ministry spokesperson Lior Hayat, according to The Times of Israel. “It is sad to see that the African Union has been taken hostage by a small number of extremist countries such as Algeria and South Africa, driven by hatred and controlled by Iran."

“We call on the African countries to stand against these actions that harm the organization of the African Union itself and the entire continent,” he said.

The 55-member group is deeply divided over Israel's observer status. A discussion of the matter was put on hold at the summit last year in an effort to prevent a vote that would have caused a historic rift in the Union. Instead, a committee was formed, and it was mandated to present its recommendations at the summit this year.

TOKYO -- China is outpacing the U.S. in the production of stealth fighters, with the inventory of its most advanced J-20A overtaking that of the U.S. Air Force's F-22 Raptor as soon as this year, the head of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies said Wednesday.
John Chipman, director-general and chief executive of IISS, told reporters at an online launch event for The Military Balance 2023 that China's combat aircraft inventory has been transformed over the past five years.
Chipman said that The Military Balance database now shows over 150 J-20A fighters. Though the U.S. is also increasing the number of its fifth-generation F-35As, and these now total around 360, "The pace of China's defense industrial output means it is catching up," he said.
"Indeed, if deliveries continue at the same speed, in 2023 the number of J-20As will eclipse the inventory of the U.S. Air Force's other fifth-generation combat aircraft, the F-22," Chipman said.
The F-22, the first-ever fifth-generation fighter to enter service, was long considered the most advanced American fighter. The plane is banned from export because its technology was deemed too advanced to land in the hands of another country.
The F-22 is no longer in production due to its high cost, and the U.S. has shifted its resources to the F-35s, which are considered more affordable and versatile. Yet the F-22 is expected to serve into the 2030s, offering the Air Force air superiority.
The J-20 is China's first fifth-generation fighter and was designed to rival the F-22.

The Military Balance noted that China's 7% nominal increase in the 2022 defense budget represents a roughly $16 billion boost for the People's Liberation Army and its largest annual increase in absolute terms.
"These funds are enabling the PLA's continued modernization," it said, including the addition of aircraft carriers, more complex frigates and destroyers as well as a new, longer-range submarine-launched ballistic missile, the JL-3.
The JL-3 could let the PLA Navy target the U.S. from longer ranges than before, giving it options to enhance the survivability of its deterrent, The Military Balance said.
Analysts have noted that if the JL-3 were to have a significantly longer range than China's current JL-2 missiles, then Beijing could keep its ballistic missile submarines in the South China Sea and target the U.S. from there, rather than having to move into the Pacific Ocean.
Chipman said the Ukraine war has highlighted the importance of weapons stocks and defense production capacity.
"Immediate equipment requirements have led some European states to look to new suppliers beyond domestic or traditional sources," Chipman said. Poland split its orders for tanks and rocket artillery between U.S. and South Korean firms, he said.
The Military Balance described South Korea as having arguably "the region's most significant industrial success in 2022." It noted the framework agreements for the sale to Poland of 1,000 K2 main battle tanks, 672 K9 self-propelled howitzers and 48 FA-50 light combat aircraft.
"The agreements between Poland and [South] Korea represent by some distance the largest defense export deal secured by an Asian country," it said.
The Ukraine war is also changing the European defense landscape in another way, Chipman noted.
"The supply to Ukraine of older, Soviet-era equipment by East European states is accelerating the modernization of these countries' inventories, as they reequip with Western-made systems. It is also creating opportunities to improve equipment commonality in Europe," he said.
Meanwhile, Chipman said that weak currencies, sluggish economic growth, ongoing supply chain disruptions and soaring inflation have hampered countries' ability to acquire their desired defense capabilities, despite the heightened tensions.
"While global defense expenditure grew in nominal terms in 2021 and 2022, higher inflation meant that expenditure fell in real terms in both years. We estimate that in 2022, inflation wiped some $312 billion of global defense expenditure," Chipman said.
Regarding India, The Military Balance said the country continues to modernize its armed forces and that New Delhi is looking to improve military infrastructure on its northern border.
It noted that in 2022, concerns were raised over India's dependence on Russia for weapons and spare parts, after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
"Recent imports of foreign equipment have primarily been from the U.S. and France," it said.
But India's large conventional forces are troubled by inadequate logistics and shortages of ammunition, spare parts and maintenance personnel, the report said. "Though modernization continues, many equipment projects have seen delays and cost overruns, particularly indigenous systems.

Jens Stoltenberg chooses his words carefully. The strait-laced Norwegian secretary-general of Nato is famous for his ability to stick rigidly to talking points. So when he warned this week that the west’s “under strain” defence sector had “a problem”, he meant it.
Russia’s war against Ukraine is almost a year old. Tens of thousands have been killed. Western governments have provided more than $110bn worth of support to Kyiv, according to the Kiel Institute(opens a new window), with $38bn in the form of weapons.
But in many capitals, defence ministers are being informed by their generals that there is precious little left to give. Warehouses and dumps are bare. Denmark has given Ukraine every single one of its Caesar howitzers. Estonia has provided so many 155mm artillery guns it has none left.
As such, the conversations between western defence ministers who met at Nato’s headquarters this week and who will congregate at the Munich Security Conference this weekend are littered with furrowed brows and anxious looks: how long can we sustain this level of support, and with what?
Looming over them is Russia’s spring offensive, which Stoltenberg said had already begun. It is expected to involve a mass wave of newly mobilised troops, a level of air power not yet deployed by Moscow, and the daily firing of as many artillery shells as Europe manufacturers in a month.
“It is worrying what is coming,” admitted Kajsa Ollongren, the Netherlands’ defence minister.
She described “a sense of urgency” among her fellow Nato ministers this week. “[It is] a critical moment because of what we see happening on the ground and what we expect to be happening in the next few months.”
“Also, thinking a little bit ahead, a serious scenario is of course that this war will drag on for a long time,” she added.
Europe responded to Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion with initial disbelief. Capitals that had previously declared he had no plans to do so then duly predicted Kyiv would fall in days.
But that rapidly gave way to a level of unity and support that defied both expectations and past form. Armies starved of funding by governments that had long dismissed the notion of war in Europe dug deep, and within weeks arms were flowing east across the Polish-Ukrainian border (as refugees flowed the other way).
But almost 12 months of gruelling war, in which Putin’s troops have targeted both civilian infrastructure and military targets, has placed immense pressure on Europe’s ill-prepared defence sector.
Europe’s factories are barely able to make enough shells to supply a week’s worth of Ukraine’s needs. Waiting times for some munitions have more than doubled.
Stocks of Soviet equipment held by eastern Nato states, which Ukraine’s soldiers know how to use, have been exhausted. Decisions to send new types of western-made weapons — such as armoured vehicles — are met with fanfare but are followed by weeks and months of delays as armies realise how much refurbishment they require.
“It’s not going well for the Ukrainians. They are short of everything,” said Judy Dempsey, non-resident senior fellow at Carnegie Europe. “Ukraine really needs the means [to fight back], but they aren’t getting it.”
“[The Europeans] are fully behind the Ukrainians. But it’s not enough,” said Dempsey. “You don’t question the political will to support Ukraine, but the actual ability to deliver enough, and quick enough.”
The answer, according to most officials, is large, long-term contracts with defence manufacturers, initially for the war effort but with pledges from European governments to keep buying even when peace comes to Ukraine. Such conversations will dominate Munich, too.
Estonia’s defence minister proposed to his counterparts this week that donor countries combine to sign a €‎4bn contract to procure 1mn artillery rounds, as a test case for joint purchases that give defence contractors the security to invest in new capacities.
Seven European countries, including the UK, Norway and Denmark, announced on Wednesday a jointly funded £200mn package of direct contracts between Ukraine and western defence manufacturers for supplies, including artillery ammunition and spare parts for tanks.
Nato, for its part, late last year ordered all its members to perform a snap check of their inventories. It is now using the results to target individual governments and push them to sign new production contracts.
“We’re not just sitting there idle and watching this happening,” said Stoltenberg this week, suggesting that factories add shifts and “even work during weekends”.
The problem, of course, is that Russia’s war economy has been running for at least a year. Europe, meanwhile, is just getting into gear.

Gas transit from Russia through Ukraine increased sharply by 15%, the volumes through the Turkish Stream are stable, on average 35 million m3 per day, despite the earthquake.

Gazprom supplies gas in transit through Ukraine on Wednesday in the amount of 35.3 million m3. Tuesday's reading was at 30.8. Thus, the excess was 15%. The average pumping volume from the end of May 2022 to the beginning of January 2023 was fixed at 42.4 million m3 per day.

Capacities are declared only at one of the two entry points to the Ukrainian GTS - at the Sudzha GIS. The application is traditionally not accepted along the corridor through the GIS "Sokhrovka".
