According to him, no funds from Czech citizens will be invested in the ammunition initiative.
We, as a state, should not give money from the Czech budget. But, I think, we can remain part of this initiative provided that other states provide the financing.
He added that Czech companies have know-how in this matter, but everything should happen "transparently, without corruption," and the issue will be discussed on January 7 at a meeting of the State Security Council.
Recall
Recently, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš promised to review his predecessors' initiative to supply ammunition to Ukraine. According to him, the initiative on weapons for Ukraine is a "good thing," but the Czech Republic must ensure that the project is implemented without corruption.
