BRUSSELS - European Union countries should work together in replenishing their military inventories and avoid competing with one another amid“All together makes better prices, better quality and better time,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told reporters as he arrived for a meeting of the bloc’s defence ministers in Brussels.
“We have reached agreement, and work can start immediately so that all the equipment which has been supplied can be repaired after coming out of battle,” Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht told reporters in Brussels. EU foreign and defence ministers, at their respective meetings on Monday and Tuesday in Brussels, formally launched the bloc’s military assistance mission to Ukraine which aims to train some 15,000 Ukrainian troops in total.
