French President Emmanuel Macron condemned Russia's latest strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine, as well as the use of the Oreshnik ballistic missile, stating that such actions only strengthen France's determination to support Ukraine.

Macron wrote this on the social media platform X, Ukrinform reports.

"Russian strikes continue to target civilian sites in Ukraine, as happened again last night. France condemns this attack and the use of the 'Oreshnik' ballistic missile, which rather demonstrates Russia's attempt to pursue further escalation and the dead end of its aggressive war," the French president stated.

According to him, Moscow's actions will not change Paris's position, but instead reinforce it.
