“France will deliver swiftly equipment Ukraine needs to defend itself, including 6 more Caesar howitzers and a significant number of armoured vehicles. France, the allies and European partners are and will be there.”
It should be noted that CAESAR is a French self-propelled 155 mm, 52-calibre, howitzer that is installed on a 6×6 or 8×8 truck chassis. It can fire all 39/52 caliber NATO-standard shells and accurately hit targets situated 40 kilometres away.
He emphasized that France, allies and partners, will continue to stand with Ukraine.
“At NATO, we unanimously decided, as we did a few days ago at the European Council and G7, to step up our economic, humanitarian and military support for Ukraine. The allies are shouldering their responsibilities.”
Earlier in April, France sent Ukraine military weapons worth over $108 million and had planned to give substantially more.
