The delegations discussed urgent military needs and types of weapons that France could provide to help the Ukrainian army.
"This week, we have already received the funds and will make a payment for the additional purchase of the Caesar self-propelled howitzers. I thank the French side for the continuous supply of ammunition for these systems. Of course, if possible, we would like to increase the number of guns," Gavrylyuk emphasized.

We understand Ukrainian needs, so next year, France will increase the supply of ammunition," said the head of the Support Fund for Ukraine Doc.
