Purchase of shells outside the EU, long-range missiles, Mirages 2000… the Europeans' plan to save Ukraine. While Ukraine faces a serious shortage of ammunition which benefits Russia, European allies gathered Monday evening in Paris in Paris to discuss the crisis.

Despite a significant effort (528 tanks, 475 howitzers and 81 multiple rocket launchers - among others - already delivered since the start of the war), Western weapons were unable to prevent the failure of the Ukrainian counter-offensive launched in spring. Moscow - which can count on the missiles of its new ally North Korea - has firepower far superior to that of its adversary.
