Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky has said that 100,000 more rounds of ammunition will be delivered to Ukraine by the end of the summer as part of a Czech-led initiative.

That's according to Radio Prague International, Ukrinform reports.

"We will send a total of 100,000 more rounds of ammunition during July and August. We are currently looking for money to purchase more ammunition so that the initiative can continue in 2025," Lipavsky told reporters in Brussels.

He said that 18 countries had joined the Czech initiative to purchase ammunition for Ukraine and 15 of them had already fulfilled their obligations and paid their contributions. This means that there will be enough money to supply Ukraine with 500,000 rounds of ammunition by the end of the year.

On Monday, July 22, Lipavsky is participating in a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, during which Russia's war against Ukraine will be discussed.

Earlier reports said that the first batch of ammunition as part of the Czech initiative had already been delivered to Ukraine.
