ai generated text

France has delivered the first consignment of Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets to Ukraine, according to Defense Minister Lecornu. The jets have arrived in Ukraine and are intended to boost the country's air force in its fight against Russia. This delivery comes after French President Emmanuel Macron promised the jets to Ukraine last summer. The jets were previously used by the French air force and were refurbished before being delivered to Ukraine.
