French Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu has suggested that France is providing Ukraine with military intelligence amid the country’s ongoing war with Russia.

This comes after the United States announced it was pausing all military aid to Ukraine.

Washington’s freeze on aid to Kyiv includes vital intelligence data used both for attacks against Russian forces and for defense against missile attacks.


However, speaking to France Inter radio on Thursday, Lecornu said France is continuing its intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

“Our intelligence is sovereign,” Lecornu said.

“We have intelligence that we allow Ukraine to benefit from.”

Lecornu also said that French President Emmanuel Macron had asked him to “accelerate” French aid to Ukraine following the U.S. pause on assistance.
