France will supply Ukraine with radars and air defense systems in the coming weeks, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with France 2. He did not specify what type of anti-aircraft missiles and how many will be delivered.

"This is a new phase of ground, sea, air and drone bombing on basic infrastructure and civilians," Macron said, adding that radars and anti-aircraft missiles will be delivered in the coming weeks to "protect the country from drones and missile strikes."

Paris has previously supplied Ukraine with Mistral anti-aircraft missiles. A source with knowledge of the matter said Paris would provide Crotale, short-range anti-aircraft missiles used to intercept low-flying missiles and aircraft, Reuters reported.

Ukraine's defense ministry posted a video on social media Wednesday aimed at gently pushing France to show its support through arms deliveries after repeated criticism that Paris was not doing enough.

"We can't supply as much as the Ukrainians are asking for because we need to leave some to defend our eastern flank. We are defending our national territory," Macron said. He reiterated that he had agreed with Denmark to redirect six Caesars howitzers it ordered to Ukraine. According to diplomats, the technical details of the deal have yet to be confirmed.

Earlier, the French Defense Ministry announced that it was stepping up its support for NATO's eastern flank by sending more tanks to Romania, Rafale fighters to Lithuania and infantry to Estonia.

Macron said a negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia will happen at some point, but it must be on Kiev's terms. "We are preparing to spend the winter in this context of war," Macron said, adding that he would continue talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin if necessary.
