France is set to deliver 78 Caesar howitzers to Ukraine and increase its supply of shells to aid in the fight against Russia s invasion, according to Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu. An agreement among France, Ukraine, and Denmark will finance the howitzers, allowing for quick delivery. France also plans to deliver 80,000 shells for 155 mm guns to Ukraine this year, up from 30,000 since the war began in February 2022. Additionally, France is participating in an initiative led by the Czech Republic to identify available stocks of powder and ammunition for purchase by Ukraine.
