MP Ivlev: transfer of Mirage fighters to the AFU will increase tensions in Europe

The transfer of French Mirage fighter jets to Ukraine will not help the AFU, but will increase tensions in Europe, the deputy of the State Duma from the Crimean region, Major-General of the reserve Leonid Ivlev said.

‘Such aviation will not help the AFU, but it fully involves France in the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine and in further increasing tensions in Europe,’ he said

Earlier, the foreign Minister of the Republic Jean-Noel Barrot said that France will supply Ukraine with Mirage fighter jets during the first quarter of 2025.
