Les pays de l'UE ont l'intention de fournir à l'Ukraine deux millions d'obus d'artillerie d'ici au mois d'octobre, a déclaré Kaja Kallas, haute représentante de l'UE pour les affaires étrangères et la politique de sécurité.

Détails: Kallas a noté que les États membres de l'UE ont fourni près de 169 milliards de dollars de soutien financier à l'Ukraine depuis le début de la guerre à grande échelle en Russie. Elle a également souligné la fourniture de munitions de gros calibre à l'Ukraine.

"Ils (les États membres de l'UE - éd.) ont maintenant également fourni 80 % de notre objectif de 2 millions de cartouches. Nous visons 100 % d'ici octobre", a déclaré M. Kallas.

Elle a noté que cette aide était essentielle pour que l'Ukraine protège son peuple et se défende contre l'agression russe.

Historique:

En avril 2025, M. Kallas a déclaré que les États membres de l'UE avaient collecté un tiers des deux millions de cartouches promises à l'Ukraine.

La Tchéquie, quant à elle, a confirmé que l'Ukraine recevra des livraisons mensuelles de munitions garanties jusqu'à l'automne 2025 dans le cadre d'une initiative menée par la tchèque, qui permettra aux pays partenaires de financer conjointement des achats d'armes sur les marchés mondiaux.

Le président tchèque Petr Pavel a ajouté que les préparatifs avaient commencé pour les livraisons de munitions à l'Ukraine en 2026.

@hercivil me semble que tu n’as pas lu l’ensemble de l’article .

il est mentionné un effort pressenti de 20% sur les 2 millions soit un maximum de 400000 ce qui n’est pas rien .

mais dans le même temps il est mentionné des cartouches ce qui inclut tous les calibres ( et pour les puristes plutôt du petit calibre, on sera sur des étuis et des douilles pour plus gros)

J'ai lu et relu mais rien vu à ce sujet. Il est marqué en rouge que 2 millions auront été livrée en octobre.

C’est la partie en rouge de ton message 

nous avons livré 80% des 2 millions et nous visons les 100% en octobre

donc il ne reste que 20% à livrer

On sait d'où viennent ces 2 millions  ? Quelle proportion vient d'en dehors de l'Europe ?

Côté Russes, ils tiennent le rythme ou bien ils continuent à faire appel aux Nord-Coréens  ?

A Gift to Putin? Trump's Defense Plans Cuts to Baltic Security, Ukraine

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/59704

Critics warn that the decision to halt security aid to the Baltic states plays into Moscow's hands. Congress is seeking to legislate for a more stable commitment.

by Alex Raufoglu - September 9, 2025, 7:57 AM

 

WASHINGTON DC – Concerns are growing in the US capital about the White House's latest plans to end security aid funding to countries on Russia's border, with congressional sources and a senior diplomat telling the Kyiv Post that the decision sends the "wrong signal to Putin at the wrong time."

Uncertainty surrounding the budget cuts has sparked confusion among European allies and spurred congressional efforts to ensure a stable U.S. military presence in the region.

Dangerous message to Moscow

In an interview with the Kyiv Post on Monday, Richard Kauzlarich, who served as the special presidential representative to the Newly Independent States from 1993 to 1994 during the Bill Clinton administration, expressed dismay at Trump's latest plans to end several security assistance programs for countries bordering Russia, including the Baltic Security Initiative and other related programs.

These initiatives have been essential in providing military training and equipment to countries such as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

"I understand the administration's desire to encourage our European allies to shoulder more of the defense burden," Kauzlarich said. "But there are better ways to do that than cutting aid to the smaller NATO countries that face the most serious Russian threat."

Kauzlarich, a veteran diplomat with extensive experience in the post-Soviet world, warned that the policy is a strategic misstep that will be exploited by US adversaries.

"Peace will come only when Ukraine is partly built within Russia" – Kadyrov

The Chechen leader's latest statement underscores what many believe both outside and inside Russia: that the Kremlin's ultimate goal remains unchanged despite Putin's talk of peace.

"We must set an ambitious example to fulfill our commitment. Baltic security is our security. This sends the wrong signal to Putin at the wrong time - 85 years after the USSR invaded and occupied the Baltic states," he stressed.

He also highlighted the poor timing from a global perspective. "Since it comes shortly after the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in China among the countries supporting Russia in its war in Ukraine, the optics are completely wrong," he said.

While Kauzlarich is deeply concerned about this policy, he also noted the political challenge in Washington. "There isn't a lot of will among the majority of Congress to challenge President Trump on this ," he said.

Unilateral action and allied confusion

A senior Trump administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity this weekend, maintained that the plans involving security budget cuts were coordinated with European countries and were part of a broader plan to ensure that "Europe takes more responsibility for its own defense."

However, defense officials in the Baltic states have publicly stated that they have not received official notification of the cuts, adding to the climate of unpredictability.

The decision is seen by many as a confusing mixed signal, especially since it comes at a time when these same countries have significantly increased their own defense spending. Despite Kauzlarich's pessimism about Congress's broader agenda, lawmakers are not sitting idly by.

A bipartisan group of senators, led by Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the top Democrat on foreign policy, introduced a significant amendment last week to the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a piece of legislation considered a must-pass.

Congressional Countermovements

 

By incorporating this requirement into the NDAA, lawmakers are creating a strong check on executive power and providing a more stable and predictable foundation for U.S. foreign policy.

Senator Shaheen also secured additional provisions in the NDAA that would require the Pentagon to consult with Congress before making changes to the U.S. military's force posture in Europe.

These measures are aimed at preventing the chaotic and abrupt troop movements that have characterized past military actions.

Kyiv Post contacted the White House and Senator Shaheen's office for comment on Monday but had not heard back at the time of publication.

However, this legislative maneuver represents more than just a disagreement over funding; it is a battle for the very soul of American foreign policy, as one congressional aide put it in an interview with Kyiv Post.

Battle for the soul of American foreign policy

For decades, the so-called "imperial presidency" has consolidated control of military and diplomatic decisions in the United States. The Shaheen Amendment and other similar efforts are "a direct and calculated attempt by Congress to reclaim its constitutional role," the source said. The move is both a rebuke to the administration's unpredictable approach and a powerful reassurance for European allies.

By tying U.S. commitments to a legislative process, Congress signals to its partners that its support is not based on the political whims of a single administration, but on a long-standing bipartisan consensus.

For those in Eastern Europe facing the immediate threat of Russian aggression, "this legislative action provides a level of certainty that is sorely needed," the congressional aide said.

This is a testament to the enduring belief that American security is inextricably linked to the strength and stability of its alliances, the source concluded.

The Shaheen Amendment is a direct effort to assert Congress's authority over foreign policy. It would legally prohibit the administration from reducing U.S. troops on NATO's eastern flank until the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State formally certify to Congress that such a measure would not jeopardize allied security.
