Ukraine's Ministry of Defense will procure a new large batch of 155mm artillery shells for the country's Defense Forces.

Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced the move on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"Even more long-range artillery for the Defense Forces – we are launching the procurement of a new large batch of 155mm artillery rounds," Fedorov said.

According to the Minister, long-range 155mm artillery ammunition remains one of the military's highest priorities.

"Long-range 155mm artillery rounds remain one of the frontline's key requests. That is why, at the Ministry of Defense's instruction, the Defense Procurement Agency is launching a new competitive tender for the procurement of extended-range 155mm artillery ammunition," he said.
