Ukraine receives 50,000 shells under Czech initiative
Ukraine has already received 50,000 artillery shells from the Czech-led procurement initiative, Czech Defense Minister Jana Černochová said on June 27, as reported by Ceske Noviny news agency.
By the end of the year, Prague plans to deliver up to 500,000 rounds to the Ukrainian military.
According to Černochová, Czechia partnered with Germany to supply the first 50,000 shells. This delivery is part of the first tranche of 180,000 shells financed by Berlin.
Previously, Czech PM Petr Fiala stated that “tens of thousands” of rounds would be delivered to Ukraine monthly. He confirmed that procurement of up to 500,000 shells has already been fully funded.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
