France on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2022 pledged air defense systems to protect Ukrainian cities against drone strikes and an expanded training program for Ukrainian soldiers as it seeks to puncture perceptions that French President Emmanuel Macron's government has lagged in supporting Ukraine militarily against the Russian invasion.
The expanded training that France is now offering is “a very important step,” the minister said. “We are changing the scale.” France has supplied 18 Caesar artillery pieces and is in discussions to furnish six more. Lecornu said France is also studying a Ukrainian request for rocket-launched ground-strike weaponry.
France’s dipping into its stocks of weaponry to supply Ukraine has also turned a spotlight on the country’s own defense needs.
