The French Minister of Defense announces a batch of hundreds of armored vehicles to Ukraine

French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced that Paris will deliver "hundreds" of armored vehicles by the beginning of next year to Ukraine as part of a new package of military aid to Kiev.

"To maintain such a wide front line, the Ukrainian army, for example, needs our armored personnel carriers. It is absolutely essential for the movement of troops," Lecornu said in an interview with the French newspaper La Tribune.

The French army is currently replacing the old "FAB" armored personnel carriers, which began use in 1979, with a new generation of armored vehicles.

"This old equipment, which is still operational, is heading directly to Ukraine in large quantities... We are talking about hundreds (of vehicles) in 2024 and early 2025," the French Defense Minister explained.

He also added that France would supply Ukraine with more anti-aircraft missiles.

This move comes at a time when the French government is pressuring its military industry to boost its production to meet Kiev's ammunition needs.

Lecornu said earlier that France would soon deliver 78 Caesar howitzers to Ukraine and would increase its supply of missiles.

The policy pursued by French President Emmanuel Macron towards the Ukrainian crisis faces sharp criticism from political party leaders, as well as opposition from the French.

    The leader of the Afghan Taliban issues a statement in 7 languages ​​after an audio recording and flogging and stoning of women and men

    On Saturday, in a statement, the leader of the Afghan Taliban movement, Hibatullah Akhundzada, called on officials in the movement to put aside their differences and devote themselves to serving their country, as Eid al-Fitr approaches.

    It seems that public opposition within the Taliban is unlikely, but some leaders in the movement have shown dissatisfaction with decisions taken by the leadership, especially the ban on female education.

    Akhundzada, a reclusive leader who rarely leaves the Taliban stronghold in Kandahar province in the south of the country, and never appears in public, has played a major role in imposing restrictions on women and girls, sparking international outrage and isolating the Taliban on the global stage.

    Akhundzada's message was distributed in seven languages, including Uzbek and Turkmen, and is an attempt by the Taliban to court the rich Central Asian countries for investment, and to give legitimacy to the country's rule.
