It is known that Portugal and Poland also joined the initiative of the Czech Republic.
Portugal's representatives previously declared their readiness to allocate about 100 million euros for the purchase of artillery ammunition for Ukraine.
The Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic has concluded similar documents with Denmark, Canada and Latvia.
The head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Radosław Sikorski, said that Warsaw has decided to allocate twice the amount for ammunition for Ukraine.
