General Keith Kellogg, the US envoy, hopes to gain Ukraine's agreement to the plan on Wednesday. His colleague Steve Witkoff would then travel to Moscow and present it to Vladimir Putin.

In 2023, Rheinmetall churned out 150,000 rounds to be fired from tanks; last year, he raised this capacity to 240,000.
