Czechs lead talks on ammunition supplies for Ukraine into 2026
- The Czech Republic leads talks to continue delivering heavy artillery shells to Ukraine into 2026, aiming to supply up to 1.8 million shells this year.
- This initiative started last year to address Ukrainian shell shortages caused mainly by early 2024 U.S. Military aid delays, with backing from 11 countries including Canada and Norway.
- Czech leaders Petr Pavel and Jana Cernochova reported that the nation has delivered 1.5 million rounds in 2024 and possesses sufficient funding to maintain this level of support through the autumn.
- President Zelensky described the initiative as "working brilliantly" and called Prague's additional 300,000 shells commitment "very strong" while negotiations continue about next year's supplies.
- The outcome hinges on the Czech parliamentary elections in October, as the opposition party ANO has expressed plans to halt the ammunition support initiative should it win, which would impact Ukraine’s artillery supplies and broader coordination efforts in Europe.
