Zelensky:
Ukraine will receive licenses to manufacture highly significant weapons: SCALP missiles, AASM guided bombs, and, jointly with Italy, Aster 30 missiles.
France will also cooperate with us and other partners within the framework of the FREYJA anti-ballistic program—an especially important pillar of our future strength.
Ukraine will be the first country to receive the new, upgraded Franco-Italian SAMP/T NG systems. These are effective anti-ballistic defense systems.
France will also provide two SAMP/T batteries to strengthen our defenses later this year. At the same time, France and Italy will accelerate deliveries of Aster 30 missiles by October of this year.
Ukraine will also purchase the first 16 Rafale fighter aircraft for the Ukrainian Air Force, along with their associated weapons.
Training for our pilots and maintenance personnel will begin in France later this year. After that, the first four Rafale aircraft will be transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
