Details: Macron said that Biden's new move was made in response to Russia's escalation of the conflict with Ukraine with the participation of soldiers from North Korea.

Quote from Macron: "The only power escalating the conflict today is Russia… So it was a real break in the war that led the Americans to make this choice."

Previously: On Monday, France said that its position on allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with its weapons has not changed.

Background:
