Defense Ministers Sebastien Lecornu of France and Richard Marles of Australia have agreed to supply Ukraine with several thousand jointly produced 155mm shells to support the country in its war against Russia.
That's according to BFMTV, Ukrinform reports.
"Several thousand 155mm shells are to be produced jointly [for Ukraine]," Lecornu said.
He also added that the first deliveries should be expected during the first quarter of 2023, but declined to elaborate on the details of the contract.
Marles, in turn, said that this was part of the support efforts that Australia and France are providing to Ukraine to make sure it is able to hold out in this conflict and see it concluded on its own terms.
According to him, this is a "multi-million-dollar project" as part of new cooperation between the Australian and French defense industries.
