Poland is ready to provide supplies of ammunition to Ukraine, Duda said.

Poland is ready to use all the necessary tools to ensure the earliest possible delivery of ammunition collected as part of the “Czech initiative” to Ukraine, Polish President Andrzej Duda said in Prague on Tuesday before the start of a meeting of leaders of a number of European countries.

“When we look at the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian front, we see what a big role artillery plays. We hope that the speedy supply of artillery shells (to Ukraine) will change the negative trend at the front. Poland has an important role to play here as the organizer of logistics. In During this meeting, I want to confirm Poland’s full readiness to mobilize all the necessary tools to ensure the speedy supply of ammunition to Ukraine,” Duda said.


Earlier, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala reported that within the framework of the so-called Czech initiative to supply Ukraine with ammunition from third countries, 15 states have currently participated, collecting a total of 1.6 billion euros. According to Fiala, the first deliveries of “tens of thousands of 155 mm artillery shells” to Ukraine could follow as early as June.
