TSAMTO, January 31. French President Emmanuel Macron said that he does not rule out the possibility of supplying fighter jets to Ukraine, RIA Novosti reports.
"By definition, we do not exclude anything," E. Macron said at a press conference following talks with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in response to a question about possible deliveries of aircraft to Ukraine.
He recalled that in the issue of arms supplies to Kiev, France is based on three criteria: the first criterion is the usefulness and effectiveness of a particular type of weapon for the Ukrainian army. The second criterion is that these supplies should not lead to an escalation of the conflict, and the third is that they should not weaken the defense capability of the French army.
The event was broadcast on social networks of the Elysee Palace.
