On July 18, Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed bilateral security agreements with Czechia and and Slovenia’s PMs Petr Fiala and Robert Golob.
The official website of the President reported this.
Both agreements traditionally envisage military assistance for Ukraine for the following 10 years. Also, both states pledged to train Ukrainian soldiers under the EU Military Assistance Mission Ukraine, the Czech Republic outlined it is able to train 4000 soldiers per year.
Still, the agreement signed by Zelenskyy and Fiala elaborates on the joint defence projects more.
“A significant portion of the agreement focuses on enhanced military-technical cooperation, primarily involving small and large caliber ammunition, the potential production of firearms and light weapons, as well as UAVs, electronic warfare equipment, and heavy machinery. Czechia will continue to support Ukraine through its initiative to supply 155mm and 122mm artillery shells with the backing of partner countries. Additionally, Ukraine and Czechia will enhance their industrial capacities for ammunition production and establish joint ventures,” the document says.
Another specific term of the Czechia-Ukraine deal is special partnership with Dnipro, including reconstruction of the region.
“A distinctive feature of non-military cooperation is Czechia’s partnership with Dnipro and the Dnipropetrovsk region for recovery, reconstruction, and sustainable development. Czechia also intends to open a diplomatic office in Dnipro to enhance cooperation and support,” reads the statement on the Czech-Ukraine agreement.
