France Continues Military Support to Ukraine

  France continued military support of Ukraine in the war with Russia, and announced the military training of 6,000 Ukrainian troops in 2023. The French Defense Minister, Sébastien Lecornu in an interview Sunday (13/8/2023) said, "The counterattack of Ukraine requires a new generation of soldiers to be trained. For our own military training course for the Ukrainian army in 2023, we set a goal of training 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers in two countries, France and Poland,". "As of July, 5,200 Ukrainian soldiers have completed military training courses, 1,600 of which were trained in Poland," said Sébastien Lecornu.

"France is committed to continuing to provide military support to Ukraine," he stressed. Since the start of the Ukrainian war on February 24, 2022, the United States and the European Union have shipped tens of billions of dollars of weapons to Kyiv, and have gradually acquired heavier and more advanced weapons, including main battle tanks, patriot air defense systems, and long-range Storm missiles.
