The EU has delivered 223,800 shells to Ukraine under the first part of a plan to provide one million artillery shells to help Kiev's fight against Russia.
"Member states have delivered around 223,800 artillery munitions - long-range, precision-guided self-propelled munitions as well as mortar munitions - and 2,300 rockets of all types," EU spokesman Peter Stano said, according to Al Jazeera.
Overall, the total value of the munitions provided was 1.1 billion euros ($1.2 billion), the EU said. EU funds reimbursed only part of this, suggesting the measure fell short of its target.
Earlier this year, the 27-nation European Union pledged to increase supplies of much-needed artillery shells to Ukraine as Kiev's forces faced shortages.
