Ukraine is negotiating with France for the supply of additional Caesar self-propelled artillery units.

Here's What We Know

The information was shared by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Twitter, after a meeting with his French counterpart Catherine Colonna. Unfortunately, there are no details and dates of delivery of weapons yet.

In our meeting, my French counterpart @MinColonna and I focused on ways to hold Russia accountable for its crimes and France's contribution to recovery of Ukraine's war-torn regions. I presented the Kyiv Security Compact. We are also working on supplies of new CAESARs to Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/MouMiJgPlW
