France Ready To Start Implementing Mechanism For Training Ukrainian Pilots - Macron

France is ready to begin the implementation of a mechanism for training Ukrainian pilots, French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday.
Macron said he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier on Thursday and confirmed France's intention to continue supporting Ukraine, "particularly in terms of arms supply" and strengthening the country's air defenses.

"We also confirmed that we were ready to start implementing a mechanism to begin training Ukrainian fighter pilots in accordance with the needs of the Ukrainian air force," Macron told a press conference on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in Chisinau.

The president added that "the defense ministers were instructed to prepare the necessary formalities and a mechanism for training pilots and mechanics" during talks with the United States and other allies.
