체코 총리, 우크라이나 포탄 지원 캠페인을 통해 1년 안에 150만 발 지원 낙관

[위종민]

체코는 아프리카와 아시아의 여러 국가와 협력해 포탄을 확보하고, 다른 우방국의 자금으로 포탄을 구입해 우크라이나에 지원하는 캠페인을 구상중인데 현재 50만 발을 확보했고 2025년 4월까지 150만 발의 포탄을 공급할 수 있을 거라고 밝혔습니다. 

구체적으로 밝혀지지 않은 공급국(설마 한국?)은 우크라이나에 직접 포탄을 판매하는 것을 꺼리고 있고, 대신 체코에 포탄을 판매했다고 하네요. 우크라이나로의 첫 배송은 6월 예정입니다. 

현재 우크라이나는 일 탄약소비량이 2천발까지 줄었으며 러시아는 그 5배를 쏘아대고 있습니다.

Czech PM bullish on ammo plan for Ukraine, envisions 1.5 million rounds in a year“The purpose of our initiative is to find ammunition on the world markets, to negotiate the financing and to potentially negotiate deliveries to Ukraine,” said Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala.

BELFAST — A campaign led by the Czech Republic and financed by international partners to source artillery shells on the open market for Ukraine could lead to delivery of 1.5 million rounds by April 2025, according to Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala.

The Czech government has already secured 500,000 shells, Fiala told the Hudson Institute on Tuesday, but, “There is no reason why we cannot deliver 1 million more in the next 12 months.”

The ammunition initiative involves the Czech Republic collaborating with a number of supplier nations from countries in Africa and Asia to secure the shells, purchased with funds from other friendly nations and eventually delivered to Kyiv.

The source nations, which Fiala did not identify, are wary of selling the shells directly to Ukraine, but will sell them to the Czech Republic. So far orders have been financed by 18 Western governments including Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden, with first deliveries to Ukraine expected in June.

“The purpose of our initiative is to find ammunition on the world markets, to negotiate the financing and to potentially negotiate deliveries to Ukraine,” said Fiala. “We have the know-how, the contacts, we have experience and we can effectively organise this assistance.”

He said that 500,000 shells “can now” be provided to Ukrainian forces. “Our goal is to create a long-term system of ammunition supplies for heavy weapons,” he added. “This will directly help to change the situation on the frontline.”

“I believe that our initiative can simply cover the ammunition gap, at least until Europe can produce enough ammunition” said Fiala. “We cannot resign on this responsibility.”

Ukraine has suffered an acute shortage of ammunition for months, reduced to a firing rate of 2,000 rounds per day, with some estimates suggesting Russian forces are firing at five times that rate.

Fiala noted that over the last two years, the Czech Republic alone has delivered 1.3 million artillery shells to Ukraine.

“We are also looking at what additional personal protective equipment we can provide to our folks, especially instructors and others who are routinely exposed to blast pressure,” said Army Secretary Christine Wormuth.

By contrast, the European Union (EU) missed its target of supplying Ukraine with 1 million artillery shells by March 2024, having committed to achieve such a feat in a year. On a more positive note for Ukraine, production capacity by member states is expected to reach 1.4 million rounds in 2024 and hit 2 million rounds in 2025, according to Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for the Internal Market.

More broadly, the Czech Republic has supplied Ukraine with 874 pieces of equipment, covering infantry fighting vehicles, helicopters, rocket launchers and “other weapons,” since the conflict with Russia started, according to Fiala.

He added that the Czech Armed Forces have already trained 4,300 Ukrainian soldiers and plan on training another 4,000.

“We need to stop Russian aggression and work on a stable, independent and democratic future for Ukraine,” said Fiala. “This is the only solution if we don’t want to face [a] strong Russia at the door of NATO.”
