France to change weapons supply tactics – French Ambassador to Ukraine

France is committed to producing more weapons in Ukraine, not just donating or purchasing them. Source: French Ambassador Gael Veyssiere in an interview on Franceinfo Quote: "French support for the supply of military equipment is, of course, continuing.

It will gradually change its nature, as the goal is to produce more weapons in Ukraine, rather than proceeding solely through donations or purchases."  

Details: After assuring that Paris' support for Kyiv in the supply of military equipment will continue, Veyssiere added that it will take some time to transition from one strategy to another. "What's more, this vision is supported politically, notably by (Foreign Minister) Catherine Colonna, who regularly visits Ukraine, having already made five visits to the country," Veyssiere said. Veyssiere said that the foreign minister's visit to Ukraine is currently being prepared, answering the question of whether French President Emmanuel Macron plans to visit his counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"We are currently working on the sixth visit of Catherine Colonna, which will take place in the next few days. I can't tell you the date yet, but it will be in the next few days. And, of course, we are also working on other visits.

The most important thing is to demonstrate France's closeness and solidarity on a daily basis," Veyssiere said.
