In a concerted effort to support Ukraine amidst its ammunition shortage, several European countries and Canada are mobilizing resources and engaging in international negotiations. Bulgaria has committed to sending Ukraine 120,000 units of 122-mm ammunition immediately. Concurrently, Denmark, The Netherlands, and Canada are collaborating on financing for an additional 800,000 rounds of 155/122-mm ammunition. Amidst these developments, Germany is actively seeking to procure artillery ammunition from India, which reportedly holds significant stocks. Despite India's reluctance to openly sell its ammunition due to its friendly relations with Moscow, discreet negotiations are underway, with potential deals also being explored with Arab states, Balkans, and African countries. Western intelligence sources estimate Ukraine's current ammunition reserves could be depleted by June, if not sooner.
