The Czech Republic plans to suspend the shipment of military aid and weapons to Ukraine. This was announced on February 18 by Parliament Speaker Tomio Okamura.

"We will no longer spend money on armaments, that is, on sending weapons to Ukraine," Okamura said, his video message posted on his Facebook page (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia).

He stressed that the Czech Republic will focus on strengthening its own defense capability.

"Spending in the amount of about 2% of GDP is enough for this, since the money intended for Ukraine will no longer be included there," the speaker of the parliament summed up.

On February 16, Czech President Petr Pavel announced that Ukraine had received about 4.4 million large-caliber ammunition as part of the Czech supply initiative. He also described the process as "extremely successful" and added that at least 15 states that financially supported the initiative believe so.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
