Czech Republic to hand over two Kub air defense systems to Ukraine

Czech President Petr Pavel said this, as quoted by České Noviny.

He noted that two Kub surface-to-air missile systems with a relatively large number of missiles are currently being delivered, which Ukraine can immediately use because it has soldiers trained for this type of equipment.

Pavel added that Ukraine has already received about 100 tanks, the same amount of armored vehicles, and a lot of ammunition from the Czech Republic. Another crucial factor for Ukraine is to ensure that it has enough armored vehicles and ammunition.

“This is what Ukraine lacks, because the decisive part of the battle will have to be fought on the ground,” the Czech president said.

• Czech President Petr Pavel believes that Ukraine should take its time and carefully prepare for a counteroffensive, as he believes there will be no other chance this year.
