On 2 March, the Charde de Gaulle left Cyprus after a few days’ technical stop and moved westwards to approach the Ukrainian theatre.

The Charles de Gaulle has been assigned a supporting role in NATO operations following the Russia Ukraine War and its assets will be used to reinforce the southern flank of the NATO deployment in Romania.
