The first batch of ammunition found by Prague for the Ukrainian Armed Forces outside the EU will be in Ukraine in a few weeks.
The first deliveries of artillery ammunition found by the Czech Republic for Ukraine could arrive in just a few weeks. Bloomberg reported this on Friday, March 1, citing the comments of Czech Deputy Defense Minister Jan Iresh.
According to him, many European countries are participating in the Czech initiative. The official did not say which countries are financing the purchases or whose stocks are being used, but said information about the shipments will likely be released as they arrive.
The country’s President Petr Pavel said that the Czech Republic has found about 500 thousand 155 mm shells and 300 thousand 122 mm shells to replace the Ukrainian reserves, since the aid from the United States “has stopped” still under consideration in Congress.
“The initiative of the Czech Republic is a way to show that we are really doing something and not waiting to see what happens in the Capitol,” said Ires.
We remind you that the representatives of the Czech Republic discovered 800 thousand artillery shells of 155 mm and 122 mm caliber in third countries, which could go to Ukraine. Subsequently, several countries agreed to provide funds for their purchase.
