Czechia unveils its largest ammo push yet to sustain Ukraine’s fight through 2026

Czechia plans to supply Ukraine with even more ammunition in 2025 and continue its support in 2026, UkrInform reports. 

Prague is heading a coalition of countries planning to deliver more than 1.5 million artillery shells to Ukraine in 2025 under the so-called Czech Initiative. It unites about 18 countries jointly financing the purchase and delivery of large-caliber ammunition for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Czechia intends to deliver more large-caliber ammunition to Ukraine this year than in 2024, said Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský after talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha in Prague.

“We want to supply more large-caliber ammunition this year than in 2024, and continue this initiative in 2026,” Lipavský states.

According to him, Czechia’s participation in the Coalition of the Willing and the expansion of the Ammunition Initiative demonstrate long-term solidarity. He emphasized that the intensity of contacts between Kyiv and Prague shows that Czechia is a key partner of Ukraine.

Sybiha, in turn, thanked Czechia for its systematic support, especially in defense and weapons supplies. He also highlighted humanitarian efforts, assistance to internally displaced persons, hospital reconstruction, provision of 3D printers, and drones.

“I was impressed by the volume of help provided by Czech society, volunteer and non-governmental organizations that assist Ukraine every day,” said Sybiha.

Among the projects Czechia is implementing in Ukraine is the restoration of six hospitals. Both sides also see great prospects in developing defense-industrial cooperation.

“With Czechia, we have reached the highest level of bilateral dialogue. Czechia is one of the few countries with which Ukraine has established strategic relations during the war,” emphasized Sybiha.

Meanwhile, Russia continues to receive military support from Iran and North Korea, and other states that do not support Western sanctions. Thus, while Czechia and its allies actively assist Ukraine with ammunition and equipment, Russia receives support from countries, complicating the frontline situation and prolonging the war.

Europe offers Ukraine postwar shield—but Washington refuses to help raise it

Europe was preparing a protective shield for Ukraine after the war, but Washington refuses to support the air cover needed for such an operation, Bloomberg reports, citing sources familiar with the situation.

According to the report, European allies, after consultations with their American counterparts, concluded that President Donald Trump would not offer the guarantees they were seeking to back a Europe-led Coalition of the willing. This casts doubt on the feasibility of the initiative.

The US has declined to provide air defense assets to support the “deterrence forces” that the United Kingdom and France planned to deploy in postwar Ukraine.

The US’s unwillingness to provide the requested support highlights divisions among Western allies on how to respond to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

“European officials had said the US guarantee was needed alongside a strong Ukrainian force supported by allied training and troops, in order to deter Russia,” reads the report.

Earlier, the UK and France finalized plans for the deployment and operations of these forces but have paused implementation until ceasefire negotiations resume.

The allied forces, which were expected to help secure Ukraine’s airspace, coastline, and territory, stationing European troops far from the front lines at key ports and infrastructure sites, are dependent on a peace settlement that, in the view of European officials, is becoming increasingly unlikely.
