MUNICH: European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Sunday backed a call for the bloc's members to buy arms jointly to help Ukraine but warned it would not solve Kyiv's urgent need for more ammunition now.
In a panel discussion with Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas in Munich on Sunday, Borrell said:"I completely agree with the Estonian prime minister's proposal, we are working on that and it will work." "This cannot be solved by going into joint procurement ... because any procurement that comes to the market will come at the end of a queue of a long list of orders already passed by the member states."
