The #Czech Republic is trying to deliver ammunition to #Ukraine “as fast as possible,” said Czech President Petr #Pavel.
“Production of the required number of shells takes time. This requires an increase in our production capacity. But Ukraine needs shells now. We can’t wait for European companies, so we try to find ammunition wherever we can. Put it to Ukraine as quickly as possible. But in parallel, we increase our own capacities,”
More than a dozen European Council members have said that the #EU must increase its security and defensive capabilities in the face of #Russia’s full scale invasion of #Ukraine.
Mark Francois talks about Neville Chamberlain "denuding the British forces of funding until it was too late."
This is wrong. Even while Chamberlain was signing the Munich Agreement in 1938, he was agreeing to a huge increase in spending to increase Britain’s armament in preparation for war.
...living in part of #Czechoslovakia called the #Sudetenland. #Sudeten#Germans began protests and provoked violence from the #Czech police.
👉#Hitler claimed that 300 Sudeten Germans had been killed. This was not actually the case, but Hitler used it as an excuse to place German troops along the Czech border."👈
Welcome to #Putler's repetitive playbook!--Always the same old, same old for decades.
President Petr #Pavel announced that it was possible to collect the necessary amount as part of the #Czech plan to purchase 800,000 artillery shells for #Ukraine. But this is contradicted by national security adviser Tomáš #Pojar, who coordinates this initiative. "He was probably talking about the first delivery, we haven't covered the entire initiative yet"
"So far we have managed to raise enough money to purchase the first shipment of 300000 artillery shells"
#Lithuania will join the #Czech-led initiative to buy #ammunition for #Ukraine, PM Ingrida Simonyte announced. The plan is to procure 800,000 shells outside the EU.
Ukraine may receive the first of 800,000 #artillery#shells identified through a Czech-led allied initiative within weeks
The initiative is demonstrating we are actually doing something, not waiting what is going to happen on Capitol Hill
While the U.S. Senate approved a $95 billion aid bill, allocating $60 billion for Ukraine, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has refused to put it to a vote
#Czech Minister of Defense Jana #Černochová declared that the plan of President Petr #Pavl to purchase artillery ammunition for #Ukraine will be financed by #Canada, #Denmark and other countries.
The Czech Republic had managed to find up to 800,000 pieces of artillery ammunition around the world, which could reach Ukraine in a matter of weeks.
"We identified 500,000 pieces of 155-mm ammunition and 300,000 pieces of 122-mm ammunition"
Some time ago I promised you more music on the #IPFS network. So here it is! This time the album "Křehký mechanismus pozemského štěstí" by the band První hoře! Use your browser's translator to translate it to your language. The player is in #Czech. Don't worry, more music on RPlayer is on the way.
@GottaLaff the issue is that #Ukraine needs a lot more than just some long distance missiles, they need artillery munition, more C90s and Bradly, ammunition to hand held weapons, air defense missiles, military grade drones and so on...
Let see how it goes with the #Czech munition, that will be really needed at the front lines and would boost the moral too.
Czech President Petr Pavel made the the statement that the Czech Republic found 500,000 pieces of 155mm artillery shells and another 300,000 pieces of 122mm shells which can be delivered within weeks to Ukraine. He is now asking for the funding.
