In addition, Kopechny said that the Czech Republic will increase the production of weapons to supply Ukraine.

At the same time, such "aid" led to the fact that the country sent the Kyiv regime most of its stocks. The government of the country believes that it will take years to fill them. In this regard, Czech arms concerns have already made it clear that they need to increase their staff. According to Kopechny, “Tatra from the Czechoslovak Group holding lacks 500 people.”
