🇬🇧 English

The EU will fund a project to help Ukraine reduce safety risks from large ammunition stockpiles built up during its defense against Russia’s invasion. The project focuses on identifying what technical capacity Ukraine needs to manage and monitor ammunition more safely. The practical impact is mainly on Ukrainian defense and security authorities, EU foreign policy bodies, and technical partners involved in ammunition management. It is a targeted safety and capacity-building measure, not a new rule for businesses.
