First ammunition under Czech initiative in Ukraine by June, official says

The first deliveries of artillery ammunition under a Czech-led plan to boost supplies by buying shells outside Europe should reach Ukraine by June at the latest, a senior Czech official said on Wednesday.

"At the moment we are supplying large-calibre ammunition secured under previous orders. First deliveries from the so-called 'Czech ammunition initiative' can be expected in Ukraine in June at the latest," National Security Adviser Tomas Pojar told Reuters.
