France delivers first Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Ukraine: Defense minister

France on Thursday delivered the first shipment of Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Ukraine to help Kyiv defend its airspace against Russia, Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said.

"The first of these aircraft have arrived in Ukraine today," Lecornu said on X, without saying how many had been delivered. After France helped train Ukrainian pilots over recent months, "they will now help defend Ukraine's skies," he added.
