Defense Express reports about it.

Ukraine recently secured funds to acquire extra CAESAR self-propelled howitzers and artillery, announced the Ministry of Defense on its Facebook page.

Deputy Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Ivan Havrylyuk, expressed gratitude to France for consistent ammunition support and expressed a desire to further expand the artillery fleet.

France, committed to aiding Ukraine, plans to enhance military assistance by supplying spare parts and escalating ammunition deliveries. The head of the Ukraine Support Fund affirmed France's dedication to meeting Ukrainian needs and pledged an increase in ammunition supply for the coming year.

In a related development, France is set to provide six additional CAESAR self-propelled guns to Ukraine, as reported in late September 2023. Moreover, Thales, the electronics giant, is poised to collaborate with UAV manufacturers.
