As of April 16, 20 countries have joined the Czech initiative to purchase ammunition for Ukraine. Prague has already identified more than a million units of ammunition that could be purchased from non-EU countries. This was stated by Czech President Petr Pavel, according to České noviny.

Pavel said that the work on finding money and partners continues.

"I think this is a reflection of the fact that everyone knows about a certain debt regarding the promised support for Ukraine, when the European Union promised to deliver a million units by March this year. Unfortunately, this did not happen," the Czech leader explained.

It will be recalled that Fiala previously informed that Prague had already signed a contract for 180,000 units of artillery ammunition for Ukraine and is working on providing another 300,000.

"If we are not going to allow Ukraine to fall, which is certainly not in our interests, it is good that initiatives like ours are being created to try to get ammunition and necessary equipment for Ukraine, wherever it is," Pavel said.
