At the Munich Security Conference held on Feb. 16-18, Czech President Petr Pavel said that the Czech government had managed to find about 800,000 155 and 122 caliber shells for Ukraine. Pavel promised to deliver them to Ukraine within a few weeks if the money could be found quickly.

A representative of the Ukrainian security forces confirmed Pavel’s information to NV about the availability of the shells, which would help cover the immediate needs of the Ukrainian military. The number of shells exceeds what the EU managed to supply to Ukraine all last year.
