Defense Minister Rustem Umerov met with Czech Chernohov Chernohov in Prague – the parties were reported on March 15.
The head of the Ministry of Defense said that he thanked Chernokhov for military assistance to Ukraine, Radio Svoboda reports.
“The main focus of negotiations is the Czech Initiative, which has already provided our army with hundreds of thousands of ammunition. They discussed ways to increase efficiency, expand the financing of the initiative, ”he said.
According to Umerov, partners of Ukraine will continue to assist with the training and equipment of our units according to NATO standards.
Chernokhov, for her part, stated that she expressed her respect for the Czech Republic for the right of Ukraine for peace “acceptable to its government and citizens”.
“Our country is now in the forefront of ammunition initiative, so we provide supply of large -caliber ammunition to Ukraine for financial assistance from other countries. Last year, we put 1.5 million pieces, 500,000 of them were the most important 155 mm ammunition. We will continue this year, both in the preparation of soldiers and in other events, ”the minister said.
Chernohov added that Ukraine is the “first line of defense of all Europe”:
“They win us time to catch up with what was neglected. They fight for Russia to stop its aggressive imperial policy. “
The Czech Republic has been actively providing military and financial assistance to Ukraine since the first days of a full -scale war. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, the country has transferred military assistance to Ukraine worth about 400 million euros.
Recall that the President of the Czech Republic Peter Paul on the anniversary of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine warned European allies from falling in “the era of chaos”.
In the Czech Republic, the Darek Pro Putina Volunteer Initiative has collected more than 70 million Czech crowns for the purchase of the Black Hawk helicopter for Ukraine.
We will remind, before that the Czechs and Slovaks have collected more than 400 thousand euros for a helicopter for Ukrainian military intelligence.
