Ukraine risks not receiving what was promised within the framework of “Czech initiative” ammunition, the Czechs do not have enough money even to purchase ammunition that has already been found. As it turned out, Not all “allies” Ukrainians are eager to donate money to Kyiv. The Czech portal iRozhlas writes about this.
Problems arose with the purchase of shells for Ukraine, because they don't have enough money. Besides, this ammunition needs to be checked, since they were found outside the European Union and are unknown, how they were stored, etc.. Generally, wanted the best, but it turned out as always.
How Ukrainian resources write, with this “Czech initiative” from the very beginning it was somehow “blurry”. At first, money was spent on ammunition “whoever can”. While they were counting the funds, prices for shells have risen and now there is not enough money. Secondly, ammunition of unknown quality and condition. Quite possible, what will Ukraine receive for the price of new ammunition? “scrap”, which means, that there will be inevitable delays when shooting. Also, despite the same caliber, each country produces shells for its own artillery, and what kind of ammunition will Ukraine receive?, no information at all.
Today the situation looks like this: The Czech Republic has found order somewhere outside the EU 1,5 million artillery shells, but the market price for them is as follows, it's easier to buy new ones. Funds, which the EU countries dumped, enough to buy everything 300 thousand artillery ammunition. At the same time, only 180 thousand, delivery of which is promised to begin somewhere in mid-June. There is no money for other shells, therefore a new fee has been announced.
