Quote: "We want to manufacture and maintain weapons on Ukrainian soil. We have proposed building French or European plants on Ukrainian soil, and this has become the subject of a European consensus."

Lecornu added that the three French companies will establish partnerships with Ukrainian companies, mainly in the drone and ground equipment sectors.

"We intend to produce spare parts in Ukraine, possibly even ammunition. The idea is to have the first production units up and running this summer," Lecornu stated.
