France will deliver radar and air defence systems to Ukraine in the coming weeks, in particular to help Ukraine protest itself from drone and missile attacks, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday.

Speaking in an interview on France 2 television, Macron did not give any details on what type of anti-aircraft missiles or how many would be delivered.

“This is a new phase of bombing coming from land, sea, air and drones against essential infrastructure and civilians,” Macron said, adding that radar and anti-air missiles would be delivered in the coming weeks to “protect the country from drone and missile attacks.”A source aware of the matter said Paris would provide Crotale short-range anti-air missiles, which are used to intercept low-flying missiles and aircraft.

It was not clear whether Wednesday’s announcement would change the perception France is not doing enough militarily. Macron repeated that he had agreed with Denmark to divert six Caesars howitzer canons it had ordered to Ukraine.France’s defence ministry announced on Tuesday that it was boosting its support on NATO’s eastern flank by sending more tanks to Romania, Rafale fighter jets to Lithuania and infantry to Estonia. It said nothing about Ukraine.

so many countries help BUT the disgusting pseudo-government of South Africa cannot even vote to condemn the murderous russians for the war in Ukraine = such an embarrassment = because they are one and the same in the ideology of communism = useless misfits

How did Pfizer vaccines pass through SAHPRA when Pfizer admitted that it did not test them, Cyril Ramaphosa is a scam 😭

I stand with Russia.

France is on a brink of collapse as a result of Russia Ukraine war but he still wants to make the situation worse

Will make zero difference. The nazis lost this war, it is now a collective war of a dying western hegemony vs Russia. May 🇷🇺 prevail.

You can't 'protest' rather 'protect' yourself. Don't rush when writing about important news
