Belgium is preparing to supply Ukraine with three Caesar self-propelled artillery units, RTBF TV channel reported on Wednesday, citing the office of Defense Minister Ludivine Dedonder.

"The Council of Ministers will soon be presented with a dossier on the acquisition and transfer to Ukraine of three Caesar artillery installations worth a total of EUR 12 million," the channel said.

At the same time, RTBF recalled that in January of this year, France formed an "artillery coalition" to support the Ukrainian army together with the United States. It includes 25 countries, including Belgium. The goal was stated to provide Ukraine with 72 additional Caesar self-propelled guns in 2024. France is committing to 12 artillery installations. Belgium has three.
