France has stepped up the production of weapons, so Ukraine can expect quick delivery of additional Caesar self-propelled howitzers.

Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France Catherine Colonna made a corresponding statement at the Munich Security Conference on Friday.

She noted that all European countries should adapt their economies to the accelerated production of weapons.

"You [Ukraine] will receive additional Caesar self-propelled howitzers soon as we are now producing them faster," Colonna said.

Currently, France is also considering Ukraine's request to train fighter jet pilots. This issue is to be raised during the visit of Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov to Paris.

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out the supply of fighter jets to Ukraine, noting that there is nothing prohibited in this issue.
