More than 11,000 people have donated money to the campaign, which is called “Gift to Putin”. It was supported by the Czech Ministry of Defense and the Ukrainian Embassy in Prague.
Organizers named the tank destined for Ukraine Tomas in honor of Tomas Garik Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia.
Czech Defense Minister Jana Cernohova thanked all donors and added sarcastically that they provided an appropriate gift for Putin on 7 October, on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
He called Putin an agent of the former USSR State Security Committee (SSC), a murderer and a crook.
Donations for tank ammunition are now being collected in the Czech Republic.
The Embassy of Ukraine in the Czech Republic has already received more than 8.6 million euros in donations.
The Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic has already delivered arms and ammunition worth over 160 million euros to Ukraine.
