Czechia to Donate an Additional CZK 12 Million for Non-Military Aid to Ukraine

The Czech government has approved a donation of CZK 12.1 million to the NATO Trust Fund, aimed at providing non-military aid to Ukraine.

This decision, made during a government meeting on Wednesday, aligns with the Czech Republic’s foreign and defense policy priorities.

The NATO Trust Fund, which has been operational since 2016, serves as a vital tool for delivering non-military assistance to Ukraine.

Contributions to the fund include fuel, medical supplies, food, winter clothing, and defensive systems against unmanned aerial vehicles (drones).

While weapons and other military equipment are supplied by individual countries, the European Peace Facility also plays a role in supporting military needs.

The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that this latest contribution is in line with commitments made at the NATO summit in Vilnius last year.

At that summit, the Trust Fund was designated as a long-term initiative, focusing on security and defense sector reforms in Ukraine, as well as helping the Ukrainian armed forces align with NATO standards for full cooperation.

Contributions to the NATO Trust Fund are voluntary, and the Czech government had previously pledged a donation of approximately 60 million crowns a year ago.
