The Czech Republic has exhausted the possibilities of further arms deliveries to Ukraine, and there are not enough workers in the country to produce ammunition. This was stated by the President of the Republic Peter Pavel.
According to him, Prague did everything to support Kiev in the conflict with Russia. But his possibilities for today are exhausted.
The Czech Republic has helped Ukraine as best as it could to supply weapons, but it no longer has the capacity to do so
- said Peter Pavel in an interview with the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The President of the Czech Republic noted that to replenish the arsenal, manpower would be needed, with which the republic has a problem, given the low unemployment rate in the country.
In the same interview, the Czech president suggested a way out of the current situation. According to him, Ukrainian workers should be involved in the production of ammunition at Czech enterprises.
We will recall earlier a serious problem with the production of ammunition for Ukraine, said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. According to him, every day Ukraine uses from four to seven thousand shells. At the same time, the current level of ammunition expenditure is higher than the current level of production.
Western military experts have been talking for several months about a serious shortage of shells in the Ukrainian army. However, the Russian military, who are on the line of contact, claim that there is no shortage of shells for the Ukrainian armed forces.
