French President Emmanuel Macron responded to Zelensky's appeal by confirming that France will accelerate the shipment of air‑defence systems to Ukraine and will provide the necessary licences for the manufacture of interceptor missiles.
Macron highlighted France's willingness to act as a bridge between Ukraine and other partner nations that hold Patriot missile inventories, facilitating quicker access to the required hardware. He also conveyed deep sorrow over the civilian deaths caused by the recent shopping‑centre strike in Kryvyi Rih.
The French leader assured that additional support, including advanced interceptor missiles, will be forthcoming to bolster Ukraine's defensive posture.
