According to Le Monde, official Paris is once again concerned about the problem of arming the Ukrainian army. Now the authorities of the country are considering the possibility of transferring the Scalp long-range missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"We are considering all options, but at the moment this is out of the question," the source explained.

The French leadership began exploring such options after British Defense Minister Ben Wallace announced the supply of Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine, which are an analogue of the Scalp.

It is known that the British long-range missiles have already been used by the Ukrainian troops in several strikes in Luhansk.

The Russian Defense Ministry earlier reported that seven Storm Shadow missiles had been intercepted by air defense systems during a military special operation.
