Ukrainian state-held weapons and military hardware manufacturer Ukroboronprom has signed a memorandum with the Czech Republic's VOP CZ military enterprise on repairing Ukrainian armored vehicles. The Czech Defense Ministry said on February 8 that the agreement was signed two days earlier. The memorandum is part of a Kyiv-Prague deal reached in 2022 to create joint enterprises to increase military equipment production for Ukraine to boost its military capabilities in its battle against Russia's unprovoked invasion.
