Ukraine should be allowed to strike military bases on Russian territory from which Moscow carries out missile attacks against Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said on May 28, Le Monde reported.

“We think that we should allow them to neutralize military sites where missiles are fired, from where… Ukraine is attacked,” Macron said at a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “If we tell them that you are not allowed to target the place from which missiles are fired, we are in fact telling them that we are providing you with weapons but you cannot defend yourself.”
