- Politico France is not prepared to send jets to Ukraine

The French government believes it is too early to discuss the delivery of fighter jets to Ukraine, according to an anonymous official in Paris. President Emmanuel Macron pledged to provide Kiev with dozens more armored vehicles during a weekend meeting with Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky. Macron and Zelensky issued a joint statement detailing Paris’s plans to “train and equip several battalions with tens of armored vehicles and light tanks, including AMX-10RCs [fighting vehicles].” Zelensky had secured a €2.7 billion ($2.94 billion) package of military aid while in Berlin earlier in the day. Russia has warned Western nations that by providing Kiev with more advanced weapons, they risk getting dragged into a direct military confrontation.
