"Tonight, I restated to President Zelenskyy our determination to stand with Ukraine and its people. As Russia chooses escalation because it is bogged down on the front, it is essential that we collectively give Ukraine everything it needs to defend itself and protect its civilians and infrastructure. I also reiterated our determination to continue supporting Ukraine as it seeks a robust and lasting peace. France will continue to shoulder its responsibilities." - @EmmanuelMacron
J'ai redit ce soir au Président Zelensky notre détermination à nous tenir aux côtés de l'Ukraine et du peuple ukrainien. Alors que la Russie fait le choix d'escalader parce qu'elle est enlisée sur le front, il est capital que nous donnions collectivement à l'Ukraine tous les moyens nécessaires pour se défendre et pour protéger sa population civile et ses infrastructures. J'ai également redit notre détermination à continuer de soutenir l'Ukraine dans la recherche d'une paix solide et durable. La France continuera de prendre ses responsabilités.

📍Inde 🇮🇳 | Renforcer nos partenariats opérationnels du Moyen-Orient jusqu'en océan Indien À l'occasion de l'exercice multinational #TarangShakti26, organisé par l'@IAF_MCC, le contre-amiral Yannick Bossu, commandant des Forces françaises aux Émirats arabes unis et commandant de la zone maritime de l'océan Indien, s'est rendu en Inde à la rencontre des aviateurs des 9 pays invités. Il s'agit de son premier déplacement dans un pays de l'océan Indien depuis sa prise de fonction. Depuis la base aérienne de Jodhpur, le CA Bossu a pu échanger avec les différents participants. Il a notamment abordé les enjeux de coopération avec le directeur des opérations aériennes indiennes, puis s'est entretenu avec le directeur de l'exercice en marge d'un briefing mené par les pilotes. Il a également rencontré le détachement émirien, avec lequel les #FFEAU coopèrent régulièrement, en particulier dans le domaine aérien. ✈️ La visite s'est conclue par la présentation du détachement français de la #BA104, composé de 55 aviateurs et de 3 Rafale, une contribution importante qui témoigne de notre implication dans des entraînements exigeants. 🤝 La visite d'ALINDIEN, contrôleur opérationnel de la zone « Moyen-Orient, océan Indien », illustre la volonté des armées françaises de poursuivre la dynamique engagée avec l'Inde et les Émirats arabes unis, partenaires opérationnels de premier rang dans la région. 🌏 La France poursuit ainsi son engagement pour bâtir une coopération opérationnelle concrète et contribuer collectivement à la stabilité et à la sécurité de l'espace indopacifique. #CoopérationMilitaire #Indopacifique #Rafale #ALINDIEN @EtatMajorFR @Armee_de_lair @FranceinIndia On the occasion of the multinational exercise #TarangShakti26, organised by the @IAF_MCC, Rear Admiral Yannick Bossu, Commander of the French Forces stationed in the United Arab Emirates and Commander of the Indian Ocean Maritime Zone, travelled to India to meet with airmen from the nine invited nations. This marked his first visit to a country in the Indian Ocean region since taking up his duties. At Jodhpur Air Base, Rear Admiral Bossu had the opportunity to engage with the various participants. He notably discussed cooperation matters with the Indian Director of Air Operations before meeting with the Exercise Director on the sidelines of a briefing conducted by the pilots. He also met with the UAE detachment, with which the French Forces stationed in the UAE regularly cooperate, particularly in the air domain. ✈️ The visit concluded with a presentation of the French detachment from Air Base 104, comprising 55 airmen and three Rafale fighter jets. This significant contribution demonstrates our commitment to participating in demanding multinational training exercises. 🤝 The visit by ALINDIEN, who exercises operational control over the Middle East and Indian Ocean area, highlights the French Armed Forces' determination to build on the momentum of cooperation with India and the United Arab Emirates, two key operational partners in the region. 🌏 France remains committed to fostering concrete operational cooperation and collectively contributing to stability and security across the Indo-Pacific region. – at United Arab Emirates
