Ukraine will be receiving a boost from the French. 

Tuesday will see the French Defence Minister joined by the US Secretary of State to show off some of the equipment they’ll be sending out to Ukraine. 

This comes at a time where France is facing criticism that they haven’t stepped up to the plate with their support. 

European Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that it isn’t state of the line equipment, but rather the armoured personnel carriers are used. 

She said that it’s equipment the French have since upgraded, so they’re sending the older stuff to Ukraine.
