Wonder if Sweden will send Gripen now.

PRAGUE, March 7 (Reuters) - A Czech-led plan to buy 800,000 rounds of ammunition for Ukraine to fight Russia's invading forces has secured enough funding, with contributions from 18 countries, Czech President Petr Pavel said on Thursday.

The most pressing need for Ukraine two years after Russia's full-scale invasion began has become artillery ammunition, which is running low as the sides use heavy cannon fire to hold largely static, entrenched positions along the 1,000-km (620-mile) front line.

But the European Union has been unable to deliver 1 million ammunition rounds as it pledged to do a year ago, and U.S. military aid, which has been the backbone of international support for Kyiv, has stalled.

The Czech Republic has taken a lead on efforts to source more ammunition from third countries.

Speaking to reporters on a visit to regional towns on Thursday, Pavel said ammunition deliveries to Ukraine could start in weeks.

"As of this morning, we have collected the entire amount for buying all the ammunition, that is the 800,000 pieces," he told a briefing that was replayed on Czech Television.

Pavel 👏👏👏 Not just the coolest looking President.

How about before things get that bad?

French President Emmanuel Macron has said there are "no limits" to Paris' support for Kyiv, according to a report of his comments on Thursday.

Following Thursday's meeting, Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the French Communist Party, said Macron had expressed how "France's position has changed" regarding the war, and that "there are no more red lines, there are no more limits," the publication reported.

Macron Challenges Putin Over Ukraine 'Red Lines'

What is this feeling, am I actually starting to like Macron? Lol.

Look at that little scumbag nodding along as if he has done a single thing for Ukraine.

Sorry but calling for an end on discussions on the subject is pathetic, you have no right to forbid the discussion, Berlin. Multiple NATO countries haven't ruled it out even if it isn't happening right now, the discussion should remain open, Germany just looks like they want to shut everyone down, how democratic...I don't see France moving forward with such a move without Germany being onboard though. I'd support France as a Brit, UK and France after America are the two main protectors of Europe since we're the only ones with nukes, I say we step up and lead.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, speaking at the European People's Party conference in Bucharest, sent a message to the Kremlin after he witnessed a Russian missile attack on Odesa the day before.

"We must have only one message to the Kremlin: You will not intimidate us, we will continue to support Ukraine and its great citizens as long as necessary. And, of course, we will remain completely united in this decision," Mitsotakis said.

Greece is one of Ukraine's weakest supporters, I would hope this would actually push them to send more but I've got my doubts.
