Greece is preparing a new military aid package to Ukraine, but will pass it through the Czech Republic, which will purchase the equipment and send it to Ukraine. Currently, Czech and Greek officials are conducting negotiations on prices. Athens wants to hand over to the Ukrainian Armed Forces:
- 2,000 Zuni air missiles
- 180 75-mm caliber rockets
- 90,000 90-mm caliber anti-tank shells
- 4 million rounds of small arms ammunition
- 70 American 155-mm M114A1 howitzers of American production
This will be the second lot Greece will sell to the Czech Republic for further transfer to Ukraine.
The Minister of Defense of Greece, Nikos Dendias, will participate in the meeting of Ukraine’s partners in the Ramstein format. He is expected to reiterate Greece’s position that the flow of arms and ammunition must be maintained to help Ukraine survive a difficult spring.
Greece has also joined Ukraine’s demining coalition.
