After the visit of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj in Paris, the French head of state Emmanuel Macron promised to train Ukrainian pilots for fighter jets. “We opened the door to train Ukrainian pilots,” Macron said on French broadcaster TF1 on Monday evening. “The training can start now.”
Several European countries have concluded that it is now necessary to start training, Macron said. When asked if France would also supply fighter jets, he replied: “No, I wasn’t talking about planes.”
Selenskyj surprisingly traveled on to Paris after his visit to Germany on Sunday. He met Macron there for a good three hours for a working dinner and talked about the Russian war of aggression against his country.
Macron said in an interview that Ukraine would be supplied with more ammunition and material. In addition, they want to help train the troops and repair cannons and vehicles. After the meeting between the two presidents, his palace said that France would provide Ukraine with newer air defense systems and other armored vehicles.
