France will use the yield from frozen Russian assets to maintain cannons already donated to Ukraine.

The money will go to the maintenance of about 60 Caesar howitzers, explains Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot according to the news agency AFP.

We want peace and the only obstacle to peace today is named Vladimir Putin and is currently parading in Moscow, says Barrot on site in Lviv in western Ukraine.

The interest from frozen Russian state assets is already being used by the EU to help Ukraine economically.
