After the U.S. announced a temporary freeze on military intelligence sharing with Ukraine, France reaffirmed its commitment to support Ukraine by continuing to provide military intelligence. French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu stated that this ongoing sharing is a sovereign initiative intended to help Ukraine target Russian forces effectively. In light of the U.S. decision, President Macron has directed Lecornu to expedite French aid to ensure that Ukraine receives critical resources. Lecornu also acknowledged Ukraine's perseverance in adapting to war over the past three years, indicating their resilience amidst obstacles from diminished U.S. support.
Lecornu emphasized that France's intelligence sharing is a sovereign operation designed to benefit Ukraine amid U.S. intelligence pauses, ensuring their support continues.
Lecornu stated that the decision to continue military intelligence sharing is not a new initiative, but rather an extension of ongoing support for Ukraine.
Following U.S. military aid suspensions, President Macron instructed Lecornu to hasten French support to compensate for diminished American resources.
Lecornu remarked on Ukraine's adaptability in warfare after three years, noting their ability to strategize and stockpile despite challenges posed by the U.S. pause.
