While the government in Prague, led by the Fiala administration and Minister of Defense Jana Černochová, has positioned itself as a vanguard of support for Ukraine—most notably through the "Czech Ammunition Initiative"—a contradictory reality exists within the domestic financial sector. The industrial base required to execute these strategic imperatives is being systematically asphyxiated by the country’s largest commercial banks. This investigation reveals a pattern of "de-banking"—the cancellation of accounts and refusal of financing—targeting Czech defense manufacturers and even the person...
