French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to boost arms supplies to Ukraine
France will increase arms supplies to Ukraine, President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with the French press, but not at the expense of its own armies.
Macron promised to increase the supply of weapons to Ukraine, but not from the arsenals of the French Ministry of Defense. Planned to ship weapon will be produced at the enterprises of French industry or withdrawn from military products already produced for other countries, as happened with the Caesar self-propelled guns produced for Denmark. Part of the party, instead of going to Denmark, went to Ukraine. As they said in Paris, Kyiv "needs more."
We make our industrialists produce faster and more efficiently
- Macron said, adding that France manages to "play" on the terms of contracts and send Kyiv weapons ordered by other countries, but which are "not in a hurry."
In addition, the French government allowed Ukraine to directly purchase the necessary weapons from the French Military companies without turning to the country's authorities. At the same time, as Macron emphasized, France does not supply Ukraine with weapons that would allow it to attack Russian territory.
We never weaken the ability of our own armed forces to defend our land and our citizens (...) never supply weapons (...) to attack Russia on its territory
- added the French president.
The latest delivery of France to Ukraine was the transfer of the LRU MLRS, which are the French analogue of the American M270A1 MLRS system. According to statements made from Paris, Kyiv will receive two or three MLRS in total.
