Ukraine must be allowed to target missile crews inside Russia with European-supplied weapons, according to French President Emmanuel Macron.

“Ukraine is actually being attacked from bases in Russia,” Macron said Tuesday at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz after talks near Berlin. “We must allow them to take out the military sites the missiles are fired from.”
