Umerov discusses ammunition supply program with Czech DM

Umerov announced this on Facebook, as reported by Ukrinform.

"Today in Prague, I had the honor of meeting a great friend of Ukraine — Czech Defense Minister Jana Černochová. […] The main focus of our discussions was the “Czech Initiative,” which has already supplied our army with hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition. We explored ways to enhance its efficiency and expand its funding. Additionally, our partners will continue to support the training and equipping of our units according to NATO standards," Umerov wrote.

Černochová reaffirmed that Czech support for Ukraine will remain steadfast, while Umerov thanked the Czech Republic for its military aid since the first days of the full-scale war.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Czech Republic, alongside the U.S. and the U.K., has become one of Ukraine's main ammunition suppliers. In 2024, the Czech Republic provided approximately 1.5 million artillery shells, including 500,000 155-mm shells, primarily through the Czech Initiative.
