This was announced by French President Francois Hollande at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Paris on Wednesday, an UNIAN correspondent reported.

"Lethal weapons won't be supplied, as we haven't got any request," Hollande said.

"France is still keeping from handing over lethal weapons, as at the moment we're doing our best to bring the peace back [to the region] and prevent a loss of human life," he added.

President Poroshenko in turn confirmed that Ukraine hadn't asked France to supply lethal weapons yet.

"I stress once again that Ukraine hasn't turned to France with a certain request to get lethal weapons. And it doesn't have such an intention at the moment," Poroshenko said.
