The Czech Republic is starting a second project to purchase ammunition for Ukraine called Initiative-2025, which will involve five arms companies.
Points of attention
- The Czech Republic's Initiative-2025 involves five arms companies in purchasing ammunition for Ukraine to support its defense capabilities.
- Minister of Defense highlights the importance of timely fund allocation for long-term contracts with companies supporting Ukraine's defense.
- The Czech Republic acts as an intermediary between European donors and arms companies to ensure sustained delivery of ammunition to enhance Ukraine's defense preparedness.
The Czech Republic launched a new initiative to help Ukraine
This was reported by the Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic Jana Chernokhova to Deník N.
This is a natural continuation of an already active mechanism. In addition, the sooner donors allocate funds, the sooner our companies will sign long-term contracts.

Currently, the Czech Agency for Interstate Cooperation under the Ministry of Defense is collecting information from arms companies about what they will be able to supply to Ukraine next year.
The Czech Republic will once again act as an intermediary between donors — European countries and five arms companies that have already supplied ammunition as part of the first Czech initiative. The companies will continue to supply next year.
According to Deník N, five companies will take part in the second project: Czechoslovak Group, STV Group, Omnipol, Colt CZ Group SE and the arms company DSS.
By the end of the year, the Armed Forces will receive 500,000 ammunition
The Czech Republic will deliver approximately 500,000 ammunition to Ukraine by the end of 2024 as part of its initiative.
According to the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Petr Fial, the supply of ammunition to the Armed Forces will continue "at the predicted pace in the coming months."
By the end of the year, about 500,000 units of 155 mm ammunition will be delivered to the Ukrainian army.
At the same time, the Prime Minister assured that, in parallel with this, the Czech Republic already annually supplies hundreds of thousands of large-caliber ammunition of other types.
