Ukraine Arms Supplies Can Stretch Into 2026, Czech Minister Says

The Czech Republic’s top diplomat said his country is prepared to extend its program to deliver heavy ammunition to Ukraine into next year as Europe rushes to bolster support to Kyiv.

Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said the nation’s effort to procure ammunition globally backed by allied funding has been a “game changer” on the battlefield. In an interview in Prague, he said Ukrainian forces now had about one round for every two fire by Russia, up from a 1-to-10 ratio at the start of the war in February 2022.
