More on Ukraine’s military help now, with the Czech government acknowledging for the first time what military assistance it has provided.
According to Prime Minister Petr Fiala, his country has provided:
89 tanks
226 infantry fighting vehicles
38 howitzers
33 multi-launch rocket systems
six anti-aircraft systems
four helicopters
1.5m rounds of ammunition
60,000 rockets
According to him, about a quarter came from army reserves, with the balance coming from Czech arms contractors.
Mr. Fiala goes on to say that his country was the first Western ally to equip Ukraine with tanks, helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles, multi-launch rocket systems, or howitzers, with some of that assistance crowdfunded.
The Czech Charity Gift For Putin, in collaboration with the Ukrainian embassy, is inviting individuals to give specific pieces of military equipment.
They earned enough money in October to purchase an improved T-72 main battle tank, as well as 15 truck-mounted air defense systems.
