France says Paris remains open to allowing Ukraine to use French long-range missiles to strike military targets inside Russia, after the United States cleared Kyiv to use American missiles for the same purpose.

Allowing Kyiv to launch long-range French missiles against military targets in Russia remains an option. So far, nothing has changed, according to French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot,

The French foreign minister reminded journalists in Brussels on Monday that Emmanuel Macron had already said in May that Paris was open to consider greenlighting the use of its missiles to strike on Russian soil.
