French President Emmanuel Macron says Western countries should let Ukraine strike military bases inside Russia with the sophisticated long-range weapons they are providing to Kyiv
FILE - The Storm Shadow cruise missile is on display during the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, north of Paris, France, on June 19, 2023. French President Emmanuel Macron has called for Western countries to let Ukraine strike military bases inside Russia with the sophisticated long-range weapons they are providing to Kyiv. It is the most recent sign of a potentially significant policy shift that could help change the complexion of the war.
But the war has been going Russia’s way recently as the Kremlin’s forces have exploited Ukrainian shortages in troops and ammunition after a lengthy delay in U.S. military aid and Western Europe’s inadequate military production slowed crucial deliveries to the battlefield. “If we tell you do not have the right to reach the point from which the missiles are fired, we are in fact telling them that we are delivering weapons to you but you cannot defend yourself,” Macron said late Tuesday on an official visit to Germany.
Already, at the start of May, Moscow interpreted as a threat U.K. Foreign Secretary David Cameron’s comment that Ukraine could use British long-range weapons, such as the Storm Shadow cruise missile, to hit back at Russia. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, speaking alongside Macron, was as usual more guarded and noncommittal, noting that under international law Ukraine “is allowed to defend itself.”
