Prague: Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal is set to engage with a consortium of European Union leaders in Prague on Tuesday, aiming to delve into discussions concerning military aid for Kyiv in its ongoing struggle against Russia’s invasion. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala affirmed this development.
Fiala, speaking prior to the scheduled meeting, reiterated the impending deliveries of ammunition, part of a Czech-led initiative drawing supplies from sources beyond the EU, which are slated to commence arriving in Ukraine by June.
“We will discuss all issues related to coordination and strengthening of aid for Ukraine in these tough moments,” Fiala remarked during a televised briefing.
The collaborative session, scheduled for Tuesday evening over dinner, is expected to be attended by the prime ministers of the Netherlands, Denmark, and Latvia, alongside the President of Poland. These representatives notably stand as some of the foremost European advocates for military aid to Ukraine.
