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.
