The Czech Republic wants to provide Ukraine with up to 30.4 million dollars of military assistance/Channel 24 Collage
The 95th day of Ukraine's heroic confrontation with the Russian occupiers continues. The Czech Republic, which has been actively supporting our state since the first day of the large-scale war, intends to increase military assistance to Kyiv.
We are talking about the allocation by Prague of 600 to 700 million Czech crowns for the military needs of Ukraine, which is equivalent to approximately from 26 to 30.4 million dollars . This was stated by the Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic, Yana Chernokhova, on the air of the local TV channel on May 29. >The Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic noted that she would ask the government in the coming weeksallocate more money for military support to Ukraine. She noted that the amount should be from 600 to 700 million Czech crowns.
It is very important that assistance to Ukraine be permanent. The Czech Republic is one of the countries supporting Kyiv for a long time. I have prepared a new proposal to provide Ukraine with military equipment in the amount of 600 to 700 million kroons, which should be considered at a government meeting, Chernokhova said.
It is noted that since the beginning of Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Czech Republic has been and remains one of the biggest supporters of our state in the fight against the Kremlin's aggression. Now the republic has already provided Kyiv with weapons, tanks and helicopters, as well as other military equipment with a total value of more than 3.5 billion CZK.
By the way, the Czech Defense Minister also added that its department closely cooperates with the Ukrainian embassy in Prague on the purchase of weapons and military equipment for the money that not indifferent residents of the republic send to the embassy's bank account. Chernokhova noted that about 1.2 billion crowns had already been sent to this account.
Recall that recently Czech President Milos Zeman and Swiss leader Ignazio Cassis discussed the war in Ukraine. At a briefing following the meeting, the politicians strongly denounced the Kremlin's aggression and said that they hope for the end of this war through the victory of Ukraine, and not a “rotten compromise” with Russia.
