Zelenskyy said that there are no military threats in Europe that affect only one country, as they inevitably affect others, emphasizing the need for cooperation to maintain peace and security across the continent.

The Czech initiative to purchase ammunition for Ukraine outside the EU needs more funding, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said, calling on allies to provide more money to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression.

As part of the Czech initiative, Ukraine could potentially receive 1. 5 million shells, almost twice as many as previously promised, which would help Ukraine fight better by ensuring a steady supply of fresh ammunition.

Slovakia and Hungary refused to participate in financing a Czech initiative to purchase 800,000 artillery shells for Ukraine, citing their opposition to the provision of lethal weapons and their belief that the conflict has no military solution.

Lithuania allocates 35 million euros for the purchase of ammunition for Ukraine as part of the EU's ammunition initiative.

The Czech Republic has raised the total amount needed to purchase 800,000 shells for Ukraine. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala noted that Ukraine needs support now more than ever.

Ukraine needs more artillery ammunition and long-range missiles to repel russian attacks and liberate its territory, not a hypothetical deployment of foreign troops, who would also face a severe shortage of ammunition.

Norway will provide about 140 million euros for a Czech initiative to purchase ammunition for Ukraine.
