**EU Delivers 1 Million Artillery Shells to Ukraine**
The European Union has delivered its promised 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine, according to EU diplomat Kaja Kallas. The delivery was made in November, after production capacity limitations delayed the initial spring 2024 deadline.
“This one million rounds of shells have been delivered,” said Kallas in an interview with the Kyiv Independent. “But of course, as we know here… it’s not enough, more needs to be done.”
Kallas, Estonia’s former prime minister, also mentioned that investments in Ukraine’s defense industry are welcome and will help support the country.
**Military Aid for 2025**
When asked about military aid for 2025, Kallas did not provide a specific estimate. However, she stated that there is no actual number yet, but the EU needs to speed up production.
“There is no actual number yet,” said Kallas. “But I think it’s important we know your needs, and of course, it’s not enough what we are producing. So we need to really speed up the process of producing more.”
**Russia Continues Attacks**
Russia has continued its attacks on Ukraine in November, launching 347 missiles and over 2,500 Shahed-type attack drones at the country.
“We understand that Article 5, when you are a member of NATO, cannot apply to the entire territory of Ukraine during wartime,” said President Volodymyr Zelensky. “As countries are against the risks of being drawn into the war.”
**Ukraine’s Military Intelligence**
According to Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR), Russian troops have suffered significant losses, with some units surrounded and hundreds of soldiers missing.
