This was announced by French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu on the air of LCI channel, informs RBC Ukraine news agency.

He noted that we are talking about weapons that President Emmanuel Macron promised to send to Ukraine as part of military assistance.

"We will deliver them in the coming weeks. So far, we have delivered other types of artillery of the previous generation as TRF1 howitzers," Lecornu explained.

As the head of the French Defense Ministry noted, Paris will fulfil its promise to send 24 Caesar howitzers to Ukraine.

He also stressed that military support for Ukraine does not make France part of the conflict.

Caesar is a new generation self-propelled artillery system. It allows hitting enemy targets at a distance of 20 km or more from the front line with high accuracy. Artillery, reserves, and enemy control points are usually located at this distance. Their destruction reduces the enemy's offensive potential.
