"Allies Fully Fund Purchase of 800,000 Artillery Shells for Ukraine"

Czech President Petr Pavel announced that a plan to purchase 800,000 rounds of ammunition for Ukraine, in response to Russia's invasion, has secured full funding from contributions by 18 countries, including Norway, Germany, and France. The ammunition, urgently needed by Ukraine, will help address the shortage of artillery ammunition as the conflict continues. The Czech Republic has taken the lead in sourcing the ammunition from third countries, and deliveries to Ukraine could begin in weeks.
