Reuters noted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was expected to sign agreements with France on Monday for the supply of air defense systems, missiles and combat aircraft, with sources saying it could include a "10-year strategic aviation agreement that would signal the supply of Dassault-made Rafale multi-role combat aircraft to Kyiv."
