France will send a number of Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Ukraine. This was stated by President Emmanuel Macron to French TV, without specifying how many planes are involved.

The entire cooperation between the two countries will be presented on Friday. At that time, Macron will also receive Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi at the Élysée Palace.

France will also train Ukrainian pilots and an additional 4,500 soldiers.

Macron also said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi asked the West to send instructors to Ukraine for the training of soldiers instead of having the soldiers travel abroad for training, which takes longer.
