French AMX-10 tanks to arrive in the coming days

He said this in an interview with Le Parisien.

"Training is finishing soon, these armored vehicles will be delivered at the end of next week," he said.

He did not comment on the amount of equipment that will arrive in Ukraine, so as "not to give any strategic information to Russia."

The minister also confirmed France's position not to supply the Leclerc tanks that Ukraine is asking for – that they cannot be supplied en masse, unlike the German Leopard.

• France has accelerated the weapon production, so Ukraine can count on the quick delivery of additional Caesar self-propelled artillery installations.
