We simply do what we help them, we are not concerned about escalation," said Slovak Prime Minister Edward Heger. Within the European Initiative this week, 17 EU and Norway countries have signed a two-year accelerated purchase agreement on the purchase of 155 mm artillery shells and a seven-year project for the acquisition of several types of ammunition.
