Ukraine, France to Begin Joint Weapons Production Amid Stalled Peace Talks

• Ukraine and France will soon start joint weapons production, moving beyond mere supplies.
• The two nations signed a letter of intent for "large-scale joint projects in the defence-industrial sector."
• Specific weapon types for co-production have not been disclosed, but new French weapon shipments were discussed.
• This development comes as trilateral talks with Russia and the US have not yielded breakthroughs.
• Russian strikes continue in Ukraine, while Zelenskyy claims US pressure to end the war by June.
