Ukraine got 4.4 million large-calibre rounds under Czech initiative, president says
The initiative pools donor funds and arms producers to provide Ukraine with 4.4 million large-calibre rounds, including 155mm shells, over two years, with nearly 2 million supplied last year.
- The Czech‑led procurement initiative delivered 4.4 million pieces of large‑calibre ammunition, including 155mm shells, to Ukraine, combining arms traders, producers, and foreign donor funding.
- Last year nearly 2 million rounds were delivered, slightly above NATO's December estimate of 1.8 million, with Czech defence officials and defence firms sourcing ammunition globally.
- Donors have committed roughly $1.7 billion of about $5.9 billion needed, with a NATO official last week citing 1.4 billion euros against a 5 billion euro target.
- Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's new ANO government agreed to continue coordination but not fund purchases, and Pavel said donors' auditors were invited to oversee spending with no corruption evidence.
- Pavel said the ammunition reserve is essential for Ukraine's defence, warning Ukraine's armed forces could not effectively lead defence without it; Czech officials reported over one million rounds previously delivered with further deliveries planned.
