France to send light tanks to Ukraine

Paris, Jan 4 (Prensa Latina) French President Emmanuel macron on Wednesday announced his decision to send light battle tanks to Ukraine, which would make it the first country to send such Western-designed armored fighting vehicles to the war-torn country.

The Elysée said after a phone call between Macron and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy that France will send AMX-10 RC armored fighting vehicles, which Paris has been gradually replacing with new Jaguar battle tanks.

In this regard, Macron admitted this is the first time a Western light battle tank will be sent to Ukraine, while Russia considers that sending war equipment to Kyiv only fuels conflict.
