France intends to deliver anti-aircraft missiles and other weaponry to Ukraine. Importantly, the funds for purchasing these weapons will be sourced from Russia's frozen assets. French taxpayers can be satisfied knowing that new methods have been identified to finance support for Ukraine.

France says Paris remains open to allowing Ukraine to use French long-range missiles to strike military targets inside Russia, after the United States cleared Kyiv to use American missiles for the same purpose.

Russia’s widespread overnight attack targeting critical energy infrastructure facilities in Ukraine was a response to strikes on Russian territory using US-made ATACMS missiles, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.
