Poland supports the Czech initiative and is ready to allocate 50 million euros for it this year and 50 million euros next year.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that Poland will allocate 100 million euros to the Czech initiative to buy ammunition for the Ukrainian army. He said this at a joint press conference with his Ukrainian colleague Andriy Sibiga in Kyiv, Ukrinform reports.
“We support the Czech initiative and we are ready to allocate 50 million euros for it this year and 50 million euros next year,” said Sikorsky.
According to him, the current Warsaw tranche has been delayed because the former chairman of the Polish Government Agency for Strategic Reserves, which deals with such issues, is detained in London on an international arrest warrant.
But let’s solve this problem, and the transfer of funds will take place this year,” stressed Sikorsky.
We remind you that some of the shells that Ukraine received as part of the Czech initiative are already located directly on the front line.
It was also reported that the Czech Ministry of Defense plans to launch a new initiative to supply artillery ammunition to Ukraine in 2025. The project, tentatively called Initiative 2025, includes the participation of Czech arms manufacturers that will produce shells for Ukraine with financial support from European donors.
