France is stepping up its help for Ukraine. President Emmanuel Macron said it is very important to give Ukraine everything they need to protect their people and their buildings.
France is already sending more missiles to Ukraine faster than planned. They are also helping by sharing data from satellites. This technology helps Ukraine see what is happening on the ground from space.
Ukraine recently asked for 70 billion euros to help keep their country running. Macron says world leaders are looking at this request now.
Right now, Ukraine is also looking for ways to get better air defense systems. They want to find alternatives to gear from the U.S. and Starlink, which is a satellite internet service. This comes after some arguments between Ukraine and leaders in Washington.
France has already finished sending everything they promised to Ukraine, including specific weapons like SCALP missiles and AASM Hammer bombs. France says they remain committed to making sure Ukraine has the tools to defend itself.
