Sergiy Boyev holds meeting with newly appointed French Defence Attaché to Ukraine to discuss arms deliveries, joint projects, and funding mechanisms
Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine, Sergiy Boyev, held introductory talks with the newly appointed French Defence Attaché to Ukraine, Major General Cédric du Gardin.
Prior to his appointment, Major General Cédric du Gardin was the head of the French Ministry of Armed Forces' Task Force to Support Ukraine. He is therefore well-informed about the security situation in Ukraine and its broader needs.
Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine, Sergiy Boyev, congratulated the French official on his new appointment and briefed him on key areas of Ukrainian-French cooperation.
“Ukraine and France continue to advance joint projects in the defence industry, including drone production. Increasing funding for joint UAV production in Ukraine remains a key priority. Furthermore, the supply and maintenance of French weapons continues to be a key issue.
The parties agreed to pursue fruitful cooperation and outlined the next steps for launching specific joint projects in the defence industry.
