Since the armed conflict broke out, France has supplied Ukraine with 18 such truck-mounted 155mm self-propelled guns with an effective range of 40km, as well as anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, armored fighting vehicles (AVMs), fuel, individual weapons and some fifteen mobile 155mm TRF1 guns, semi-automatic.
France plans to send more CAESAr cannons to Ukraine, which has been trying to push Russia’s army out of its territory for the past seven months, President Emmanuel Macron announced Thursday.
“We are working on various requests, together with member states of the European Union, especially for additional CAESAr,” the head of state said during the press conference after the end of the first session of the European Political Community in Prague.

Paris now plans to send another six to a dozen CAESArs to Kiev, originally intended for Denmark, a source told AFP. It is also considering sending 20 Bastion armored personnel carriers (APVs).
The 27 “will discuss these issues, some mechanisms” today at the informal Prague Summit, the French president said, adding that he would come back with more details after its work is completed.
“We will continue to support Ukraine, from an economic, humanitarian and military point of view,” assured the French president.
“This aid will include equipment and training,” as has already been happening “for months,” he added.
“We will continue to proceed on the basis of the requests submitted” and will “coordinate closely with members of the European Union and non-members”, he added, referring mainly to Britain and the US.
