The German intelligence services fear that the Armed Forces are running out of the shells by June, and therefore Western countries are urgently looking for options where to find ammunition for Ukraine in the world.
A new unexpected variant with shells for the Armed Forces is India.
According to Spiegel, Germany and India secretly discuss the purchase of shells for the needs of Ukraine through intermediaries.
New Delhi has a "several hundred thousand" artillery shells.
Negotiations are conducted secretly because India does not want to spoil relations with the Russian Federation.
According to Spiegel, similar agreements in the interests of Ukraine can be concluded with Arab countries, some of which also have large stocks of shells. Experts believe that the possibilities of ammunition production are also in the Balkans and in a number of Africa.
The German Defense Ministry says there is a shortage of shells, but not money.
Earlier, Kuleba reported that by the end of March it will put up to 170 thousand artillery shells by the end of March.
