Ukraine to purchase 100 Rafale jets, Zelensky says after signing defense declaration with Macron
President Volodymyr Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron signed a declaration of intent on cooperation in the defense sector on Nov. 17, with Kyiv placing a "historic order" for advanced Rafale jets.
The declaration, signed during Zelensky's official trip to France, concerns "acquisition of defense equipment" by Ukraine, the Ukrainian Presidential Office said in a broadcast. The full content of the agreement has not been disclosed.
The Ukrainian president later told TF1-LCI news channel that Ukraine aims to purchase 100 Dassault-made Rafale fighters, a 4.5-generation multirole aircraft considered one of the most advanced European jets.
Citing undisclosed sources, Reuters reported that Zelensky and Macron are expected to sign deals on air defenses, missiles, and a 10-year strategic aviation agreement signalling the provision of Rafale jets.
Paris has been a key ally to Ukraine since the outbreak of the full-scale invasion in 2022, providing Mirage 2000 fighter jets, artillery, SCALP long-range missiles, and more.
