Details: Macron says 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: “Russia is the only power that made an escalatory decision … it’s really this break that led to the US decision.”
Previously: On Monday, France said that its position on allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with its weapons has not changed.
Background:
