PRAGUE - The government has approved another Czech contribution to an initiative to purchase ammunition from non-EU countries to support Ukraine under attack by Russia. Prime Minister Petr Fiala (ODS) did not specify the amount of the contribution. According to him, 20 countries have joined the initiative. He said this after today's cabinet meeting. He thanked the countries that joined the purchase plan. He said the ammunition would arrive within weeks or months, which is already affecting the situation on the battlefield. The government has expanded the national sanctions list to include two individuals and one legal entity, Fiala said. They are politician and businessman Viktor Medvedchuk, the Voice of Europe company, and politician, media producer and propagandist Artyom Marchevsky. The sanctions are meant to hit a pro-Russian network that has tried to develop an influence operation in the Czech Republic. Citing the secretive regime, Fiala declined to comment on whether the government today discussed filling the sensitive ambassadorial post in Moscow.
