Details: Kuleba noted that Jan Lipavský and he talked about the progress of the Czech initiative to purchase artillery shells for Ukraine in third countries, for which a number of other allies have provided funds and, in general, efforts to strengthen military support for Ukraine.

"We also coordinated joint steps to make the Peace Summit a success. I am grateful to Czechia for its friendly and continued support," Dmitry Kuleba wrote.

Background:

  • The EU's chief diplomat admitted that the first shells from the Czech initiative will be in Ukraine in late May or early June.

  • Jan Lipavský and several other Western officials called on Europe "not to relax" after the long-awaited approval of additional funding to support Ukraine by the US Congress.
