Details: When asked about his previous comments on the possibility that Ukraine could attack the Russians on their territory with French weapons, the French president said that it was not a question of striking civilians.
"The limit is set by the actions of Russians," Macron said.
He added that Paris has never sought escalation and that "it was not us who attacked Ukraine".
"From day one, the Russians have been threatening (us – ed.). The main thing is that we are not to blame. But we are determined to cope with any risk. We are ready for this," the French president stated, commenting on Moscow's threats.
Background:
- Last week, Ukraine confirmed that the United States authorised the limited use of its weapons to strike Russian territory.
- The White House clarified that the permission to strike with American weapons applies to the border not only in Kharkiv but also in Sumy Oblast. At the same time, the authorisation does not apply to long-range ATACMS missiles.
- Meanwhile, Kyiv wants to reach an agreement to expand the scope of this authorisation.
