    >”I myself will be going to Ukraine in February” and “we will be making new deliveries: some forty Scalp missiles and several hundred bombs”, the President told a press conference.He also pointed out that France was “in the process of finalizing a security agreement” with Kiev along the lines of the one concluded on Friday between the UK and Ukraine over a ten-year period, adding that France and the European Union would “have to take new decisions in the coming weeks and months, precisely so as not to let Russia win”.

  5. Sing it with me…
    Kerch Straight Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. Kerch Straight Bridge is falling down my fair Valdy.

  6. Thank you France. I hope the UK duplicate and the Germans deliver Taurus.

    Ideally, announcements like this would be better made after the weapons have been successfully deployed. This ratcheting of 1 European country trying to persuade another is uneddifying and doesn’t disguise how unprepared Europe is for its own defence.

  7. Nice. France stepped up. Hope Germany will match them with 80 Taurus missiles.
