France will soon deliver 78 Caesar howitzers and increase its supply of shells to Ukraine to aid in the fight against Russia's invasion. The defense minister also emphasized the need for European countries to reduce reliance on the U.S. for security and expressed concerns about potential shifts in U.S. foreign policy. Additionally, an initiative led by the Czech Republic aims to procure 800,000 artillery shells for Ukraine, with support from at least 18 countries.

Russia's Failed Objectives in Ukraine Revealed: ISW Reports Success in Bakhmut Counteroffensive

Ukrainian troops near Bakhmut are using U.S.-supplied Howitzers to pummel Russia's defensive positions as part of their counteroffensive. The Howitzers have become a vital front-line weapon, despite the risk of giving away their position to Russian drones. Ukrainian commanders are requesting more weapons and ammunition, including controversial cluster munitions. President Zelenskyy is urging international partners, including NATO and the G7, to provide ongoing military support to help Ukraine repel the Russian invasion. Germany has agreed to provide additional Patriot air defense systems, while the U.S. remains the largest supplier of military aid to Ukraine.
