Visiting a strategic #ammunition production site in the center of Finland🇫🇮

We have a very strong #EUDefence equipment industrial base —manufacturing all kinds of equipment.

We have seriously increased our production capacity & will continue to boost our #defence readiness 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Impressive visit of #ammunition factory in the center of Finland 🇫🇮

The EU industrial production capacity is there — and it is important now that orders are directed to Ukraine as a matter of priority.

We are boosting Europe’s defence readiness beyond the current urgency 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Very interesting visit of the #Galileo Control Centre base in Fucino 🇮🇹 today with Luigi Pasquali
