The Czech Republic has taken an initiative to buy large volumes of ammunition with short delivery times on the world market where more countries can contribute with financing.
< p>– The Ukrainian need for ammunition is great, especially for artillery ammunition. The Czech Republic has identified opportunities to purchase large quantities of ammunition on the world market for donation to Ukraine. The government wants to support the Czech Republic in this work, says Defense Minister Pål Jonson (M).
The government has today decided that the Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) may negotiate and enter into an agreement with the responsible authority in the Czech Republic for financial support for the acquisition of ammunition to Ukraine. Sweden intends to support the Czech Republic with 30 million euros in this initiative.
The financing of the contribution is made within the framework of Support package 15 in the part that refers to support in the form of financial contributions to funds and a number of bilateral and multilateral donation projects which countries within the EU and NATO have established with the aim of supporting Ukraine.
Support package 15 is currently under consideration in the Riksdag and a Swedish contribution to the Czech initiative requires that the Riksdag votes through the government's proposal for an additional amendment budget.< /p>
