Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that Ukrainian pilots will soon begin training on French Rafale fighter jets in France, calling it "a strong step for Ukraine's combat aviation."

Zelensky made the remarks after a "good conversation" with French President Emmanuel Macron, during which they discussed Russia's escalation and Ukraine's defense needs.

He said new French defense deliveries were being prepared, with a new package expected to arrive in Ukraine "soon." The two sides also discussed efforts to "localize the production of French missiles and aerial bombs in Ukraine," as well as preparations for the FREYJA system.
