The French Minister for the Armed Forces, Sébastien Lecornu, will travel to Ukraine on Wednesday to testify to France’s continued support, indicates the French Ministry for the Armed Forces. “He will notably pay homage to the dead at the Heroes’ monument in kyiv and will meet his Ukrainian counterpart, Oleksiy Reznikov,” the same source said, without further details.
France, which had organized an international conference on December 13 in support of Ukraine, insists that it remains ready to provide all its humanitarian and military support to kyiv.
French President Emmanuel Macron said this week that France had recently delivered rocket launchers and Crotale missile batteries to Ukraine. He also added that Paris would continue its arms deliveries in early 2023, in an interview with TF1 and LCI, broadcast last Tuesday. Among the deliveries envisaged are those of new Caesar guns.
