France Defies Trump’s Warning. As the U.S. wavers on military support for Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron steps up, announcing a €195 million ($211 million) military aid package for Kyiv. French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed the aid will fund critical deliveries of 155-mm artillery shells and AASM gliding bombs for Ukraine’s Mirage 2000 fighter jets. Additionally, France is fast-tracking the transfer of older military hardware, including tanks and armored vehicles.
