Germany will support the Czech initiative to procure hundreds of thousands of artillery shells for Ukraine with a sum in millions of euros that would run to three digits, government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said in Berlin on March 6. Hebestreit said the German government has been in intensive talks with Prague about this for some time, adding that "a three-digit million sum will be raised" to support the plan, without giving an exact amount. While the plan, which aims to procure 800,000 artillery shells from third countries outside the European Union, is not yet finalized, it will be in the very near future, Hebestreit said.
