Jaromír Zůna also says Europe must take greater responsibility for its own security
The Czech-led initiative to supply artillery ammunition to Ukraine will continue for as long as the country still needs it, the country’s Defence Minister Jaromír Zůna told Euractiv.
“The ammunition initiative will continue as long as it is necessary to assist Ukraine in its defence against the Russian invasion and as long as it is supported and required by our international partners,” Zůna said on Tuesday via email.
Prague plans to guarantee deliveries of urgently needed artillery ammunition, particularly 155 mm extended-range shells.
“We are currently the single most important source of this material,” Zůna said. “The Czech Republic is thus fulfilling its specific role alongside other partners who focus on other types of support and deliveries.”
