The Czech far-right SPD party, led by Tomio Okamura, opposes the ammunition initiative for Ukraine but seeks coalition participation. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš confirmed the initiative will continue, backed by international partners.

The new government is critical of the initiative, aiming for consensus without Czech funding. EU leaders allocated €90 billion for Ukraine, with over two-thirds for military expenses. Divergent views exist among EU countries regarding arms procurement for Ukraine.
