Already, it has had to scour the global arms markets. Last year the #Czechs set up an initiative to secure 500,000 155mm artillery rounds for #Ukraine. This target was met, but issues ranged from the logistical challenges of shipping them around the world to fears that substandard #ammunition would explode prematurely.
Czechs crowdfund money to purchase Black Hawk helicopter for Ukraine

The volunteer initiative, called "A Gift for Putin," began crowdfunding money for the helicopter in November 2023, rallying more than 20,500 donors to contribute a total of 72.3 million Czech Koruna ($2.9 million).

Yeah, I really doubt the #Czechs would arrest #netanyahu . But they are obligated to do so - but it's becoming the norm to ignore international law.

"Some politicians ... blame the war not on the invader but on the invaded; not on #Putin 's lust for power but on #Ukraine 's thirst for freedom. So I want to ask them: Would you ever blame #Hungarians for the #Soviet invasion of #1956 ? Would you ever blame #Czechs for the Soviet repression of #1968 ? The answer to these questions is very clear: The #Kremlin 's behaviour was illegal and atrocious back then. And the Kremlin's behaviour is illegal and atrocious today. "

'Would you blame Hungarians for Soviet invasion?' - Von der Leyen criticizes those who 'muddy the waters' on Ukraine

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Aug. 30 criticized certain EU politicians for "muddying the waters" and shifting the blame for Russia's war on Ukraine, drawing historical comparisons to Soviet aggression in Central Europe.

On August 21 1968, 56 years ago, I woke up to the sounds of #ruZZian tanks in my street in #czechoslovakia .

#ruZZian fascist imperial evil was never forgotten by #Czechs and #Slovaks, and will not be forgotten by #Ukrainians, who were against all odds, brave enough to stand up and fight evil and aggression.

@JohnLoader6 Yes, you can make jellies/jams & pies with the berries but I don't like their rather bitter taste. I only tried once & it didn't agree with my palate.

Their berries can also be a substitute for coffee beans. It has lots of uses in #alcoholic beverages: to flavour liqueurs & cordials, to produce country wine & flavour ale. In #Austria a clear #rowan #schnapps is distilled which is called by its German name #Vogelbeerschnaps, #Czechs also make a rowan #liquor called #jeřabinka, the #Polish #Jarzębiak is rowan-flavoured #vodka & #Welsh make a rowan #wine called #diodgriafel.
