“The Czech Republic has announced a new Ammunition Ammunition Project is preparing a new Ammunition Project to Ukraine in 2025. The volume of new deliveries will depend on available funding, but in the world there are still enough ammunition for purchase.”, – WRITE ON: Unn.ua
This was reported by the Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky in an interview with RND, reports UNN.
Details
In 2024, we managed to put 1.5 million ammunition, about a third of which – a caliber 155 mm. This has played an important role in establishing parity on the battlefield in Ukraine. Previously, the ratio of ammunition was 1:10 in favor of the Russians, but with our help became 1: 1. We know that the war will continue and we will still need ammunition in 2025. I cannot name a specific figure according to the new initiative this year because I do not want to set myself a goal. We must provide Ukraine with what it needs. We are currently studying how you can finance a new ammunition initiative, and then see how many cartridges we can buy for that money
The minister noted that specific figures about the new project are not yet possible to name, since it will all depend on available funding. The Czech Republic examines possible sources of funds, after which the volume of supply will be determined.
It is impossible in general to say how long it will take for ammunition to finally arrive in Ukraine. It depends on the origin and technical condition of the ammunition. Sometimes they still need to be adapted, repaired or refined in general so that they can be used reliably in Ukraine. In any case, there are still enough ammunition in the world that we could buy for Ukraine. This is a matter of political will, and if many EU Member States join our initiative again, we will be able to achieve a lot for Ukraine
