Donors have given $4.5 billion to Czech ammunition scheme for Ukraine, minister says

PRAGUE: Foreign donors have provided 93.3 billion crowns ($4.5 billion) to a Czech-led initiative to find and deliver large-calibre ammunition to Ukraine, and the Czech Republic has contributed 1.7 billion crowns, Defense Minister Jana Cernochova said on Wednesday. Increased ammunition supplies in 2024 and 2025 have helped reduce Ukraine’s disadvantage compared with Russia on the frontline, although it is unclear whether the Czech action will continue under the next government.
