The strategy is changing: France will focus on the production of weapons in Ukraine - Ambassador
According to him, in 2024, the production of weapons in Ukraine should increase, in Kiev should be more and more relying on their own resources produced in the country. "It is this shift that is important and makes this year strategic. But today, of course, the most important and absolute key to everything is the sustainability and determination of the Ukrainian people, and I can tell you that it is," he said. According to the diplomat, it will take some time to move from one strategy to another.
For this purpose there is political support from the Foreign Minister of France Catherine Column, who regularly visits Ukraine. The ambassador said that the sixth visit to Ukraine is now being discussed during the war of French Foreign Minister. He noted that the future of the country always depends on it itself and reminded that in the first hours of the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, Ukraine was, in fact, one, without international support.
Therefore, the future is decided primarily in Ukraine, said the representative of the French Foreign Ministry. "But it is obvious that partners have to play their role, and as for us, we are determined to continue to support Ukraine, and I think that of course, this is the opinion of our partners," the ambassador said.
