French defence minister promises more military support for Ukraine

Описание: France's defence minister arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday to discuss further military support for Ukraine.

Minister for the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu said support will include French army equipment and a 200 million euro (US$212 million) fund that would allow Ukraine to purchase weapons.

Lecornu said his visit to Kyiv was important to identify the priorities of the Ukrainian defence ministry.

Reznikov detailed some of them to journalists: more air defence systems, more artillery and more armoured vehicles.

Without giving many details, Lecornu spoke about an innovative acoustic technology that could potentially be used in Ukraine to detect such drones at night and in foggy weather.

After a meeting with Lecornu, Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to France for its aid

France has supplied Ukraine with a substantial chunk of its arsenal of Caesar cannons, as well as anti-tank missiles, Crotale air defence missile batteries and rocket launchers.

It is also training some 2,000 Ukrainian troops on French soil.

Macron pledged last week to provide a new injection of weapons in early 2023.
