Ukraine and the Czech Republic have signed a bilateral security agreement in continuation of the Group of Seven's Vilnius Declaration on “security guarantees” for Ukraine; this is the 24th such agreement.
This was announced by the press service of the President's Office.
The agreement on security cooperation and long-term support between Ukraine and the Czech Republic was signed on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in the UK by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala.
“A significant part of the agreement is devoted to enhanced cooperation in the military-technical sphere, primarily in the areas of small and large caliber ammunition, small arms and light weapons production, as well as UAVs, electronic warfare and heavy equipment,” the Presidential Office emphasized in a communiqué.
The Czech Republic plans to continue to help Ukraine receive artillery shells of 155 mm and 122 mm caliber with the support of partner countries. In addition, the agreement provides for the strengthening of ammunition production facilities in both countries and the establishment of joint ventures.
