PRAGUE, May 6 (Xinhua) — The Czech Republic will continue training Ukrainian pilots and supplying ammunition and heavy equipment to the country, Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on Monday.
“Today we agreed that together with our coalition partners we will focus on training Ukrainian pilots on L-39 and F-16 aircraft in the Czech Republic. Ukraine is already training helicopter and fighter pilots on Czech-made simulators,” he said following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Prime Minister noted that since the beginning of the year, 500 thousand large-caliber shells have been delivered to Ukraine.
Czech President Petr Pavel said Sunday that Ukraine could receive up to 1.8 million large-caliber shells by the end of the year if everything goes according to the agreement. The Czech Republic supplied Kyiv with about 1.5 million large-caliber shells last year.
The parties also discussed strengthening economic cooperation. “Skoda Transportation and other companies are planning deliveries in the transport sector. We discussed the possibility of strengthening cooperation in the field of nuclear energy. Czech companies are ready to play an active role in the reconstruction of key infrastructure,” said P.
