The Czech company donated over 700,000 euros to Ukraine. The money will be used to purchase anti-tank grenade launchers, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

At the Embassy of Ukraine in Czechia, STV GROUP handed over a symbolic check for RPG-7 anti-tank grenade launchers for the Ukrainian Defense Forces for 765,000 euros, which is equivalent to 20 million Czech crowns.

The diplomatic mission emphasized that RPG-7 is a weapon that has proven to be highly effective in combat conditions.

“The transfer of this military aid is another example of solidarity and support from our Czech friends. I am convinced that these grenade launchers in the hands of our heroic military will play a significant role in the defense against the aggressor and protection of human lives,” says Ambassador Vasyl Zvarych.

As we have previously reported, the Czech Ministry of Defense is preparing to launch a new initiative to supply Ukraine with artillery ammunition next year.

This time, Czech manufacturers will participate in the initiative.
