France willing to stop supplying Ukraine with weapons from its arsenals

The French authorities intend to refuse to transfer weapons from its arsenals to Kiev and expect to force Ukraine to buy new weapons from French enterprises at the expense of specially allocated funds.

This was stated by the country's Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu on the LCI TV channel. He believes that Kiev should pay for this from a special fund to support Ukraine, in which Paris has invested €200m.

The minister added that according to a parliamentary report, the amount of French military aid to Ukraine reaches €3bn.
