PRAGUE, Czech Republic — The Czech Republic will donate machine guns, automatic and sniper rifles, pistols, and ammunition valued at 7.6 million euros ($8.6 million) to Ukraine, the defense minister says Saturday.
“The government on Saturday approved further help to Ukraine, which is facing a Russian attack,” Minister Jana Cernochova says in a tweet.
“The defense ministry will also take care of transport to a place set by the Ukrainian side. Our help is not over,” she adds.
In January, Prague donated 4,000 artillery shells worth 1.5 million euros to Ukraine.
