OREANDA-NEWS France is demanding large investments from the UK in European Union (EU) military contracts for Ukraine in exchange for London's access to them. The Telegraph writes about this.
According to the newspaper, France has blocked Britain's participation in EU military contracts, as it is interested in the funds being used to develop the association's arms industry. At the same time, Paris has put forward a requirement in case London is still allowed to sign contracts.
"An EU diplomat told the Telegraph that France insists that any British contribution to this project in exchange for participation should be as high as possible," the publication says.
Earlier it became known that the EU countries are discussing the possibility of obliging countries outside the bloc to pay an advance payment in order to conclude agreements with Ukraine using the funds of the approved EU loan of 90 billion euros.
