With 200 million euros … new French military aid to Ukraine

French Defense Minister Sebastian Lucurno announced that France intends to provide a new military aid package to Ukraine at about 200 million euros, which is funded by the benefits on the frozen Russian assets.
Lucurno, who is close to President Emmanuel Macron, described in an interview with the newspaper “La Tribune Dimonch” the United States suspended the delivery of weapons to Ukraine as a “strong blow” to Kev.

Military aid to Ukraine

“This year, we will fill a new aid package thanks to the benefits on the Russian -frozen assets of 195 million euros,” said, “We will fill a new aid package thanks to the benefits of 195 million euros,” for Ukraine.
He pointed out that this allows the delivery of Ukraine 155 mm shells and ammunition for Mirage 2000 aircraft that it received from France.
But he warned that he is far from the battlefield, “the Russians are re -invented the war, and this is their great strength” by targeting “our democracy and economy.”

The upcoming French presidential elections

He said that the upcoming French presidential elections in 2027 “may be vulnerable to huge manipulations as was the case in Romania”, where the first round issued a candidate from the far right before the result is canceled by the Constitutional Court.
Lucurno reduced any decline in the Atlantic relations after Donald Trump’s victory in the head of the United States, saying, “On my part, I still consider them allies, despite the inability to predict them to a large extent.”
