French President Emmanuel Macron revealed plans to bolster military aid to Ukraine, stating that France will supply 40 long-range missiles, along with several hundred bombs. Macron made the

announcement during a press conference in Paris on Tuesday, emphasizing the importance of reinforcing Ukraine's defense capabilities amid the ongoing Russian invasion.

Macron disclosed that a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine is in its final stages, expressing his intent to sign the pact during an upcoming visit to Kyiv next month. Last week, Ukraine and Britain had already signed a similar bilateral security agreement.

In addition to the missiles and bombs, France will dispatch more Caesar self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine and continue providing training to Ukrainian troops.
