#Repost @mfa_ukraine with @use.repost_ . . . 🇺🇦🇫🇷 Today marks a historic moment for both France and Ukraine. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President of France Emmanuel Macron have signed a declaration of intent on cooperation in defence procurement, opening the way for Ukraine to acquire advanced military equipment from France’s defense industry and technological base.

✈️ This includes 100 Rafale F4 fighter jets by 2035, SAMP-T air defence systems, radar systems, air-to-air missiles, and precision-guided bombs.

Joint projects between our defence industries are also set to begin this year, including the co-production of interceptor drones and the development of critical technologies and components for integration into Ukrainian drones.

We thank France and its people for standing with Ukraine!
