The Czech Republic has reportedly become the first NATO member state to send tanks to Ukraine in an apparent escalation between the West and Russia.
The Ministry of Defence did reveal that since the start of the Russian invasion, the government has donated some one billion Czech crowns worth of military equipment to Ukraine, however, the government would not stipulate the types of weaponry or vehicles for security reasons., the latest purported shipments of tanks from Czechia were donations rather than sales, and the Eastern European country has been sending tanks to Ukraine for several weeks.
While other major powers, including the United States and UK have been shipping arms to Ukraine, they have not gone so far as to send heavy equipment such as tanks, meaning that the move from the Czech Republic — a NATO member — could be seen as an escalation in the proxy war between the West and Russia. Other NATO powers have generally limited themselves to sending defensive weapons, like anti-tank and anti-air missiles.
Ukraininan President Volodymyr Zelensky has long been calling on the West to supply his country with weapons and tanks.: “You have at least 20,000 tanks. Ukraine asked for a per cent, one per cent of all your tanks to be given or sold to us!”that both the Czech Republic and neighbouring Slovakia are preparing to open up their military-industrial supply lines in order to repair damaged Ukrainian equipment.
The American paper also claimed that the Czech Army has also supplied Ukraine with howitzers for artillery and amphibious infantry fighting vehicles.
