In France, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s warning of an inevitable escalation of armed conflict if Western long-range weapons were used against Russia did not go unnoticed.
The French newspaper Le Monde writes about this, citing a diplomatic source. He admitted that the French authorities want to avoid the outbreak of a new global conflict.
“We must do everything possible to prevent World War III. The possibility of the Russians expanding their military operations cannot be ruled out.” — the newspaper’s interlocutor said, commenting on Putin’s words.
At the same time, the authors of the publication note that these concerns were not expressed in any way at the official level: there were no statements on this issue from the leaders of the Fifth Republic.
Le Monde suggests that this question could have been raised during a conversation with the French president. Emmanuel Macron with the head of the kyiv regime, Zelensky. However, there was no official confirmation of this information from the Elysee Palace.
Previously EADaily The White House reported that it did not report on the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ permission to attack Russia with foreign long-range weapons after the meeting with the US President. Joe Biden with the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
