Ammunition manufactured in Lewiston is on its way to Ukraine.

CCI and Speer in Lewiston, along with Remington and Federal Ammunition, are donating a total of a million rounds of ammunition to the Ukraine armed forces, according to a news release from Vista Outdoor.

All of the bullet-manufacturing companies are part of Vista Outdoor’s sporting products segment.

Ukraine’s military has been a customer of Federal, CCI and Speer for years and the donation is intended to meet the call of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for more ammunition, according to the news release.

“The war in Ukraine has displaced millions of citizens and exposed average people to the horrors of war,” said Jason Vanderbrink, president of Remington, CCI, Speer and Federal Ammunition, in the news release. “Supporting the relief effort is a crucial element of the global response and we are proud to do our part,” he said.

“It underscores how critical the Second Amendment is in America and highlights the importance of the ability of American manufacturers to supply our allies with ammunition,” Vanderbrink continued. “We have long supported Ukrainian armed forces and we will continue to do so in this global cause to unite for democracy.”
