Jiří Táborský, of the Press Section of the Czech ministry of Defense, announced on October 3 that the United States Congress endorsed a military assistance package for the Czech Republic valued at USD 100 million from the Foreign Military Financing program to bolster the modernization of the Czech Armed Forces and to partly replace the materiel supplies to Ukraine, plus additional USD 6 million from the Countering Russian Influence Fund for building deployable cyber response teams to be formed in the Czech Armed Forces.
“We will invest the funding into our defense modernization and into further assistance to Ukraine. We regard the donation as a token of appreciation of the Czech help to Ukraine from the outset of the conflict and of our responsible attitude on the security of our country and that of our Allies, and we are grateful for that,” Defence Minister Jana Černochová said.
The Czech Republic is one of the biggest providers of military assistance to Ukraine. From the beginning of the conflict, the Czech Republic donated military materiel worth over CZK 3.8 billion (USD 153 million). For security reasons, the details of this assistance will only be disclosed after the conflict ends.
