In September, Ukraine and France discussed the possibilities of establishing joint arms production. In early October, it was announced that France would provide Ukraine with an additional six self-propelled 155mm artillery systems, Caesar, manufactured by the company Nexter.

Additionally, an agreement was signed for the maintenance of the Caesar self-propelled artillery units and the production of certain components at one of the Ukrainian enterprises. Furthermore, France is tripling the production of large-caliber artillery shells to increase supplies to Ukraine. This will allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to receive up to 3,000 155mm shells per month, starting in 2024.
