Czech ammunition scheme for Ukraine may continue
The Czech Republic has been helping Ukraine by getting lots of big bullets from different countries.
A NATO general thinks this help might continue even though the Czech Republic has a new leader who isn't sure about it.
The Czech plan has given Ukraine almost half of all the bullets it has received this year.
Most of the money for this comes from other countries, not just the Czech Republic.
The NATO general hopes the plan keeps going because it's very important for Ukraine.
Czech Republic has been sourcing large-calibre ammunition for Ukraine from global suppliers.
NATO official expresses cautious optimism about the continuation of the scheme despite a government change in the Czech Republic.
The initiative has delivered 1.8 million rounds of artillery ammunition, 43% of the total supplied to Ukraine.
Funding for the initiative primarily comes from international partners, with limited Czech funding.
NATO's Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) coordinates international military aid for Kyiv.
