NASCAR legend Richard Childress has promised to deliver 1 million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine. Childress’ announcement came shortly after the US delivered 200 missiles to the Ukrainian army and may be a sign of better things to come for the country taking fire from Russia.
Richard Childress will be sending this ammunition to both civilians and the Ukrainian Army through Ammo Inc, which Childress is a board member of.
As reported in KHOU 11:
Childress said Ukrainian President Volodomir Zelenskyy caught his attention when he turned down evacuation offers to stay and fight with his people.
Last week, when Zelenskyy told American intelligence officials, “the fight is here, I need ammunition, not a ride,” Childress said he heard him loud and clear.
“Let’s do it, let’s give them one million rounds of ammunition,” Childress said of his conversation with Ammo Inc’s board chairman.
Childress is a former Board of Directors member for the National Rifle Association and said the country’s efforts to protect itself from Russia led him to help.
Childress would go on to explain that they have not yet figured out how much this is going to cost but they are going to do it regardless of how much it costs. Childress also said that “they need 10 million rounds and hopefully, we can figure out how to get even more rounds of ammunition over there to the people of Ukraine.”
