French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that Ukraine should be allowed to use weapons provided by the EU to neutralize military facilities from which missiles are launched, even if these facilities are located on Russian territory. Macron emphasized that deliveries of long-range weapons capable of hitting targets on Russian soil do not represent an escalation of the conflict. However, he clarified that Ukraine should not be permitted to hit other targets in Russia, including civilian capacities. Macron added that Ukraine must be allowed to respond to Russian missile strikes by targeting the sites they are fired from.
