"France Increases Weapons Production for Ukraine Amid Russian Scrutiny"

France is ramping up weapons production for Ukraine, including the delivery of Caesar artillery systems and increased supplies of shells, as it seeks to support Ukraine's war effort against Russia's invasion. The French defense minister announced plans to fund the delivery of 78 Caesar self-propelled 155 mm howitzers to Ukraine and emphasized the need for endurance in military aid for Kyiv, as Russia intensifies its military operations. France and other backers of Ukraine are seeking ways to continue supplying defense needs for the long haul while avoiding depleting their own military stocks.
