Details: Zelenskyy highlighted Czechia’s substantial support in supplying artillery shells last year and expressed optimism about continued cooperation.
“We expect this year’s cooperation to be just as productive. We discussed the possibility of receiving 1.8 million shells this year. That’s a very strong decision.” Zelenskyy said.
He added that he would meet with Czech defence companies on Monday 5 May: “We are preparing specifics.”
Background:
- Earlier, Czech authorities reported that under the Czech-led initiative to procure shells globally, regular monthly deliveries to Ukraine have been secured through September.
- The European Commission hopes that the number of shells delivered to Ukraine through European contributions will reach two million by the end of 2025.

That’s great news! This will really let the AFU fire up the cockroaches. Our shells are superior to anything they have, and so are the guns firing them.
If Ukraine can get the number of drones they announced recently and better ones to boot, the combination of plenty of artillery firepower and drones will make those meat wave assaults even deadlier.
