EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, during his visit to Kyiv, highlighted the European Union's commitment to support Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict. Borrell addressed the delay in artillery shell supplies to Ukraine, attributing it not to a lack of production capacity within EU countries, but to their exports to other nations.
