Czechia has found a way to acquire 800,000 shells for Ukraine but it needs funding to do so, Czech President Petr Pavel has said.
Source: Pavel in Munich at the Ukrainian Lunch organised by the Pinchuk Foundation, as reported by a European Pravda correspondent
Details: Pavel spoke at a panel discussion with the leaders of 5 EU member states and commented on the challenges of supplying weapons and ammunition to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He said Prague had found a way to arrange such supplies.
“We need to support Ukraine by supplying ammunition from all possible sources. We need to be as innovative and flexible as Ukrainian soldiers and look for military equipment everywhere,” he explained.
Pavel noted that Czechia “looks for military supplies around the world and then works with our NATO partners” and specifically mentioned Denmark, the Netherlands, and Canada, which have provided resources to bring military equipment to Czechia. “And then we promptly transport it to Ukraine,” he explained.
Pavel added that Czechia had been successful in searching for it.
Quote: “So far, we have found half a million 155mm shells and 300,000 122mm shells, which we can ship [to Ukraine] in a few weeks provided we have the funding. We will address our partners in the United States, Germany, Sweden, etc., for such assistance,” he said.
Background: Earlier in Munich, Denmark urged Europe not to hide behind excuses about production problems in supplying weapons to Ukraine.

Needless to say, this is fantastic news!
Thank you so much, Czechia and President Pavel!
Just think, these 800,000 rounds, plus whatever the allies can hand over, plus whatever Ukraine can produce, equals massive amounts of roasted roaches.
With the F16s, and hopefully, one day Taurus. It could get very interesting for the orcs.
Scholz is too much of a pussy to send Taurus.
He is SPD…

Fantastic news, really! I’m just a bit concerned if it’s wise to talk about that publicly. I’m crossing fingers that this will get done and the shells will arrive asap. 🤞😐
It’s always good to make the roaches get nervous.
Yeah, but it’s one thing to make roaches nervous, but a very different one to alert their intelligence services of an overlooked ammunition source, giving them a chance to identify and pressure the seller. I do hope that this deal can’t be prevented in the last minute.
If the Czechs aren’t as goofy as some other Western countries, the mafiosi will not find out where this ammo is. If the West weren’t generally so goofy, it wouldn’t matter in the first place.
Let’s hope we don’t start to get excuses about the funding.
I’m afraid that anything is possible with the West. But, if they don’t do what they can to get that ammo to Ukraine due to some bureaucratic nonsense, then they really are insane.
Dyakuyem! 👍🇨🇿🇺🇦
I’m cautiously optimistic but I’m sure Olaf Shitz or Viktor Orbitch or Robert Ficommie will find some way to delay or block it.
