France for the first time published a list of all weapons that it has made Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict until December 31, Politico reports. According to the French, their military assistance is € 2.6 billion, not € 635 million, which was charged with a King Institute.
"France is upholding efficiency in its military assistance to Ukraine: promising what you can do, to do what you can promise," - said the Minister of Armed Forces of France, Sebastien Lecorn.
French deliveries in Ukraine have become one of the subjects of the dispute between Paris and Berlin. Emmanuel Macron's proposal for the possible departure of Western troops to Ukraine poured oil into fire. Plus, French officials are disappointing that Germany refuses to send Kiev his winged Taurus rockets to Kiev.
However, it is very difficult to measure the efficiency of weapons. Yes, France claims that one of its scalp missile worth about € 850 thousand has a much greater impact on the battlefield than the German Leopard 2 tank worth more than € 10 million.
There is a separate question about which part of the promises was fulfilled. Half of the promised weapon not arrives in Kiev on time. Also, France does not include expensive and recent weapons because of the delivery list that it will give Russia intelligence on the French arsenal.
