This is stated in a Bloomberg article with reference to Jan Ires, Director General of the Department of Defense Policy and Strategy at the Czech Ministry of Defense.

According to him, the initiative of the Czech government should show that in Europe “they are actually doing something, and not waiting for what will happen on the hill (Capitol Hill in Washington, where the US Congress is located - RT).

However, Iresh did not say which countries participated in the initiative, nor did he say from whom the ammunition would be purchased.

Earlier, Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala said that the initiative to purchase shells for Ukraine could be supported by 15 countries.
