“Since the beginning of the conflict, we have supplied Ukraine with 18 CAESAR howitzers, and now we intend to supply six more howitzers.
We are working on these deliveries together with Denmark, since these guns were originally intended for Denmark, ”he said on France 2, TASS quoted him as saying.
As the Le Monde newspaper wrote earlier, citing sources, the French authorities are preparing to transfer to Ukraine from 6 to 12 CAESAR artillery installations, which were previously intended for Denmark.
The publication noted that such a “maneuver” remains the subject of a “principled political agreement.”
Macron at the same time stated that France does not want a new world war and seeks to stop the conflict in Ukraine.
