Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš confirmed that his country will not sell L-159 light combat trainer aircraft to Ukraine, APA reports citing Idnes News portal.
"There is and will be no [sale] of L-159s to Ukraine. The matter is closed," the Idnes news portal quoted Babiš as saying. He was responding to the Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Army, General Karel Řehka, who told reporters that, in his view, the transfer of four L-159s to Ukraine would not impact Czech security.
