French defence minister says "there is no taboo" when asked about fighter jets for Ukraine

French Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Tuesday "there is no taboo" when asked about supplying fighter jets to Ukraine.

Lecornu also reiterated France's position when it came to supplying arms to Ukraine, saying it should not weaken France's own defence capacity, that it should be useful to help Ukraine in the conflict with Russia and that the weapons be used only by Ukraine to defend itself.

Lecornu was speaking after meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Oleksiy Reznikov in Paris.
