US Compensates Czech Republic for $200M Aid to Ukraine

The US has given $200 million to the Czech Republic as compensation for sending military weapons and equipment to Ukraine.

The donation is on top of the $106 million that Washington pledged last year under Foreign Military Financing.

[It will also] be used to replenish stockpiles heavily diminished by supplying weapons to Kyiv.

[T]he Czech Republic has…sent a large number of modernized Soviet-made armored vehicles to increase the mobility of Ukrainian soldiers.

“I wrote a brief appeal to the brave Ukrainian defenders on the tank 72 that will be sent to Ukraine. I believe that Ukrainians will win in the fight against the Russian aggressor,” Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala wrote on Twitter.
