According to the prime minister, the meeting participants discussed the Czech initiative to supply artillery ammunition to Ukraine, within the framework of which more than 1.6 billion euros have already been collected, and agreed on the need for speedy supplies of shells.
Another issue was the provision of air defense systems for Ukraine, in particular Patriot systems, and the supply of F-16 fighters, which Kyiv expects to receive in the summer.
Ukraine’s allies also discussed assistance to the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, in particular, the creation of joint ventures, “technology transfer, construction of new enterprises in Ukraine and financing of Ukrainian production.”
The first batch of artillery shells as part of the Czech initiative will arrive in Ukraine “in the coming days.” Prime Minister Fiala said that as of now, 15 EU and NATO countries have already contributed more than 1.6 billion euros to the Czech initiative, and these efforts will “soon improve Ukraine’s defense capabilities.”
And Germany transferred to Ukraine three large-sized power transformers to power distribution network nodes and 16 units of special equipment, the Ministry of Energy reported.
