France Creates €100M Fund for Ukraine to Buy its Arms
France is creating a fund of €100 million to buy weapons for war-torn Ukraine.
“We took the decision to create a fund of €100 million to allow the Ukrainians to buy equipment for their war effort,” French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Friday.
Macron added that discussions were being held, particularly with Denmark, to deliver CAESAR truck-mounted cannons to Ukraine, on top of the 18 France has already given.
“France has been giving military support to Ukraine from the first day, with anti-tank and individual anti-aircraft systems," the leader said.
Ukraine has also received anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, armored personnel carriers, fuel, infantry gear and towed artillery cannon from France.
The U.S. is the biggest military supplier to Ukraine, to the tune of the equivalent of €25 billion, while Britain has given some €4 billion worth of weapons and gear, and Poland €1.8 billion worth.
