“I held a meeting with the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, Jean-Noël Barrot. We discussed defense support, particularly with air defense assets, training for our warriors, and the outcomes of the Ramstein meetings.

We are ready to expand joint defense production. There is a decision by French companies to begin manufacturing drones in Ukraine — and this is highly valuable. We also addressed sanctions against Russia and Ukraine’s EU accession talks.

I thank France, President Macron, and Mr. Barrot personally for the support we have felt since the first days of the full-scale war. Thank you for your solidarity with our people!” Zelenskyy wrote on X.
