As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Netherlands allocated more than EUR 100 million for Czechia’s initiative for the rapid delivery of artillery rounds to Ukraine in the face of the ongoing Russian onslaught.

Czech President Petr Pavel announced on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference that Prague had found nearly 800,000 artillery rounds in third countries, which EU members could procure for Ukraine. Several nations have already supported the initiative.
