Macron Supports Ukraine Striking Russian Targets with French Weapons
France and Germany have stated that Ukraine should be allowed to use their supplied weapons to strike military targets inside Russia from which attacks on Ukraine are launched. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized that these strikes should be limited to military sites and comply with international law. This stance marks a shift from the previous Western policy of restricting the use of donated weapons to Ukrainian territory, amid concerns of escalating the conflict. The U.S. has not yet permitted Ukraine to strike Russian territory with American weapons, but Secretary of State Antony Blinken hinted at potential policy adjustments.
