"All hot air as usual from Macron. The truth is, France lags Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland with military support to Ukraine.UK is third after US and Germany. "

According to a recent article in US News (Feb 23rd, 2024) and a recent report..

you are incorrect with your figures.

Could you perhaps quote your source?

They obviously use a different data source from the US report as the figures are quite different.

Yes. I think the difference lies in the share of EU funding, to which France has committed more.

I think you missed what the OP said:

Sending 'Mirage-2000 fighter jets'

But the article you posted, mentions its source has the Ukraine aid tracker. So surely it should be the same.

Switching from Soviet Era aircraft to Western made ones is a complication, on top of all their other disadvantages, it could take years to integrate into their military.

Same with tanks. They can't take these tanks or planes to the Soviet era workshop, it's useless to them now, there's no infrastructure. They need to change so much, it can't be done, it takes more than even one or to years.

On top of the fact that they need a new army, they need a whole new military design, new equipment, foreign starting with NATO surplus supplies, the sponsors of this conflict are risking escalation with Russia and that will be even harsher for Ukraine.

The last escalation saw Russia go after the power grid and now direct talks with the Ukrainians are off the table Russia will only talk to the sponsor nations.
