In a working document seen by Le Monde, a few hours before the arrival in Paris of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is due to sign a bilateral security agreement), the French presidency draws up an inventory of the aid provided to Kyiv since the start of the Russian invasion. Here is the previously unreported list of military equipment delivered by France to Ukraine, to date:
Surface-to-air defense
Air-to-ground armament
Artillery
Armor and liaison vehicles
Engineering and small arms
Air
In addition to this material aid, which is independent of the security agreement due to be signed later on Friday, the Elysée Palace emphasizes that humanitarian and judicial contributions will also be made, as well as contributions to reconstruction and refugee reception.
This list was initially published in Le Monde's French-language liveblog on the war in Ukraine.
