The leader of the ANO movement is skeptical about military aid to Ukraine
In case of victory in the autumn elections, the government led by the ANO movement would cancel the Czech ammunition initiative, which helps supply Ukraine with artillery ammunition. The head of the ANO movement, Andrej Babiš, told this to the Reuters agency. The Czech ammunition initiative for Ukraine, which is defending against Russian armed aggression on its territory for the fourth year, helped deliver 1.5 million cartridges last year and deliveries are continuing this year. Babiš also proclaimed that the new NATO goals in the area of defense spending are too high and that he would "take a look" at the Czech contract for the purchase of 24 F-35 fighter jets, which he believes is overpriced, Ceskenoviny.cz reported.
