France to send Ukraine light combat vehicles

France will send AMX-10 RC armored fighting vehicles to Ukraine, which would make it the first country to send Western-designed armored fighting vehicles to the country, Politico reports.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that France is bringing the defense support for Ukraine to a new level, and called on other partners to supply Ukraine with Western-type tanks.

“Each of our partners will have very specific information about our defense needs. And we all have the same goal: to put an end to the Russian aggression as soon as possible, to restore reliable and lasting peace,” Zelenskyy said.
