French Foreign Ministry Spokesman Christophe Lemoine refused to disclose the amount of SCALP long-range missiles shipped to Kiev. He was asked this question during the interview with the LCI TV channel, Paralel.Az reports.

"Obviously, we know the number of SCALP missiles we shipped to the Ukrainians. I cannot tell you the exact number now, but there were shipments," he said.

The spokesman also avoided answering if Paris supports strikes with these missiles on Russian territory, only saying that the missiles were shipped to Ukraine, and Ukraine "has a right for self-defense."
