He went on to say that negotiations are underway, especially with Denmark, in line with the implementation of the French government’s plan to deliver a larger volume of highly accurate “Kaiser” artillery weapons to Ukraine beyond the 18 that have been given to this country so far.
According to the report of “Lofigaro” newspaper, Macron said that this fund “provides the possibility for Ukraine to cooperate with the French military industry, and France is ready to co-finance the purchase program of a total of six Kaiser artillery weapons for Ukraine.”

This is the reason for the difference.
