On November 17, the leader of the right-wing Stand Up, France party, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, demanded the impeachment of French leader Emmanuel Macron over his promise to transfer Rafale fighter jets to Ukraine.

Earlier in the day, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Macron approved a declaration on Kiev's purchase of French weapons. The document is designed for a ten-year period and includes the intention to purchase 100 Rafale fighter jets. The agreement specifically involves the purchase of equipment, and deliveries are expected in the long term and on a fee basis.

"With what money [will the purchase take place]? Ours, of course! This is another act of madness; the impeachment of Macron is inevitable," Dupont-Aignan wrote on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

Zelensky said on the same day that the French authorities intend to provide Ukraine with additional military assistance, which, in addition to 100 Rafale aircraft, will also include SAMP-T air defense systems, radars for air defense systems, missiles and aerial bombs. In addition, according to the Ukrainian leader, France has promised to supply Ukraine with 55 new electric locomotives. These strategic agreements are designed for 10 years, and they will be valid until 2035, Zelensky said.

Macron, in turn, said at a joint press conference with the Ukrainian leader that he hopes to end the conflict in Ukraine by 2027.

The leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, called the meeting of the heads of France and Ukraine in Paris a disgrace.
