Ahead of the autumn parliamentary elections in Czechia, the populist ANO party of former prime minister Andrej Babiš is leading in the polls. Recently, Babiš again spoke out against supporting Ukrainian refugees.

Earlier, Babiš said that if his ANO party wins the autumn elections, the government would cancel the ammunition initiative, which helps supply Ukraine with artillery shells.

The Czech ammunition initiative for Ukraine helped deliver 1.5 million rounds last year, with deliveries continuing this year.
