France ready to develop ballistic missile defense with Ukraine, says Zelensky, calling it 'important step'

"France is prepared to cooperate with Ukraine on developing a ballistic missile defense
system, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on May 16 following a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron.
The announcement comes as Kyiv seeks to unite international partners around the creation of an air defense shield within what Zelensky has described as an "anti-ballistic coalition."
"France is ready to work on anti-ballistic measures. This is a strong decision and an important step. We discussed strengthening our capabilities to repel Russian attacks right now," Zelensky said." KI
