I sincerely congratulate Andrej Babiš on his appointment as Prime Minister of the Czech Republic and wish him success.

Before this, Babiš promised to cut military aid to Ukraine from the state budget and stated that the new government could stop the Czech ammunition initiative, which procures large-caliber ammunition for Ukraine from around the world. Babiš, as Reuters writes, stated that the scheme was opaque and overpriced, but did not take a clear position on the future of the project, which has strong presidential support.
