Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that France is preparing a new defence package to support Ukraine. A key component of this aid will be training for Ukrainian pilots on French-made Rafale fighter jets, expected to begin shortly. This development signifies continued French support for Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict. Zelenskyy did not disclose details regarding the timeframe or scope of the training program, nor the specifics of the larger defence package. The provision of Rafale training aims to enhance Ukraine’s air defence capabilities and bolster its military strength. This assistance comes as Ukraine continues to seek advanced weaponry from its allies to counter Russian aggression and defend its sovereignty.
