Bulgaria can increase ammunition production to supply Ukraine, EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton told Politico Thursday.
"Bulgaria has a good capacity to significantly increase production, within a timeframe that may be compatible with what we are looking for", Breton noted. He added that it is necessary to find plants that are ready to quickly ramp up production, identify their needs and capacities, and identify potential problems in supply chains. Breton visited three classified production sites - one of them was state-owned VMZ.
Bulgarian companies "have the capacity to increase the shipments to their current clients, which are EU members" Breton said. He added that countries with stockpiles will be able to give them to Ukraine, and the producers will be able to increase their production to refill those stocks.
Breton will then visit Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, France and Romania as part of his "defence tour" of countries with potential to increase the volume of ammunition production, Politico stated.
