The European Union, spurred by concerns over its ammunition production capacities and the ability to sufficiently arm Ukraine or itself, is conducting an audit of the military contributions made by its member states to Ukraine. This scrutiny, as reported by the Financial Times, follows allegations that some countries have not provided as much weaponry as they could have. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has demanded a count and comparison of these contributions. Ukrainian forces are currently rationed to approximately 2,000 heavy artillery shells per day, a stark contrast to the Russian fire rate of about 10,000 shells per day.
