Czechia receives almost CZK 245 million for military supplies to Ukraine

Czechia has so far this year received almost CZK 245 million in compensation for military materiel supplied to Ukraine under the European Peace Facility (EPF) and is expected to secure another roughly CZK 127 million by the end of the year, the Ministry of Defence said on Thursday. The country has also received more than CZK 35 million for the training of Ukrainian soldiers.

The original purpose of the EPF was to finance EU missions and operations and to contribute to the stabilisation of partner countries in Europe's neighbourhood. However after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine the fund started to be used for reimbursements for military materiel supplied by EU member states to the invaded country.
