🇪🇺🪖 Explosives shortage threatens EU drive to arm Ukraine
Europe’s push to make arms for Ukraine has been hobbled by a shortage of explosives, which industry insiders fear will delay efforts to boost shell production by as much as three years.
Scarce supplies of gunpowder, plastic explosives and TNT have left industry unable to rapidly meet expected EU orders for Ukraine, regardless of how much money is thrown at the problem, according to officials and producers.
“The fundamental problem is that the European defence industry is not in good shape for large-scale war production,” said one German official.

— Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira said Brazil respects and follows the decisions of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, which last week issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes.
In an interview with the Metropoles column, days before Lula left for China, Vieira said that Brazil has no official position on the warrant, but when asked if Putin would be arrested if he visited Brazil, he admitted that the Russian's presence in any country that is part of the ICC could cause "complications".
A priority topic on the PT's trip to Beijing will be Brazil's initiative to mediate talks to end the war in Ukraine. Chinese President Xi Jinping met Putin in Moscow on Monday (20/3) to discuss the conflict.
