“Approximately one third of this equipment was in army warehouses, from where six air defense systems were sent,” the prime minister said.

Recall that Czech President Petr Pavel during the Munich Conference said that there are three conditions for the liberation of the occupied territories of Ukraine.
Air defense systems for Ukraine will be produced in the Czech Republic. The Netherlands will pay for 100 modified Toyota all-terrain vehicles equipped with a pair of rapid-fire machine guns.
The United States will provide the Czech Republic with an additional $200 million to modernize its army as partial compensation for equipment donated to Ukraine, which was under attack from Russia.
