France supports Ukraine's plan to end war with Russia during Kyiv visit
Summary: French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot expressed support for Ukraine's "victory plan" to end the war with Russia during his visit to Kyiv. He aims to gather backing from other nations for the proposal, which includes a NATO invitation for Ukraine.
Barrot announced that France will deliver Mirage 2000 combat jets to Ukraine by early 2025 and is training Ukrainian pilots. This support aligns with France's ongoing military and diplomatic assistance to Ukraine since the invasion began in 2022.
The visit coincided with a prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine, where 190 prisoners were exchanged. Among the returned were 34 Azov fighters, while 900 remain in Russian captivity.
