Macron Says France Now Providing Two Thirds of Intelligence to Ukraine
French President Macron said France now supplies about two-thirds of Ukraine’s intelligence after the US scaled back support in 2025, with 34 countries funding Kyiv’s aid.
- Speaking at the Istres‑Le Tubé air base on Jan 15, Emmanuel Macron, French President, said France now supplies roughly two-thirds of the intelligence shared with Ukraine.
- After Washington suspended sharing in March 2025 amid pressure linked to President Donald Trump's push for talks, a coalition of some 35 countries has since provided broad support, including financial aid, to Kyiv.
- A French defence ministry official said much of the intelligence supplied to Kyiv was technical, France's intelligence agencies coordinated support, and Ukraine's GUR military intelligence agency declined to comment.
- Kyrylo Budanov said Kyiv remains critically dependent on Washington for satellite imagery and early warning systems, yet reporting found no clear sign Washington drastically cut intelligence after March 2025.
- Emmanuel Macron, French President, praised Europe's role over two years and unveiled a voluntary military service programme launching next year targeting 50,000 volunteers annually by 2035.
