France's defense minister on Wednesday pledged further military support for Ukraine, insisting his government's backing is unflagging while efforts are also being made with Moscow to reach an eventual negotiated end to Russia's invasion .
Lecornu and Reznikov did not specify which new air defense system France could give Ukraine in the near future. But Lecornu later mentioned the MAMBA anti-missile system developed together with Italy, describing it as the European equivalent of the Patriot air defense system that the U.S. has given Ukraine.
Lecornu arrived a week after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the U.S., Ukraine’s chief ally, and amid fighting focused mostly in the country’s east but with neither Moscow nor Kyiv reporting major gains in recent weeks. Russian forces have pressed their offensive to capture all of eastern Ukraine by concentrating in recent weeks on Bakhmut, a city in Donetsk province. Ukrainian forces were pushingtoward Kreminna, a city in neighboring Luhansk province, in hopes of potentially dividing Russia’s troops in the east.
Russian attacks on power stations and other infrastructure have left millions of Ukrainians without heating and electricity for hours or days at a time.
