France is urging Germany to clarify the rules for using long-range missiles in order to reduce the risk of a nuclear conflict with Russia. Financial Times reports this, citing French and German officials.
Paris fears that Moscow could misinterpret conventional missile strikes and respond with nuclear weapons. The concern comes as Germany is building up its arsenal with missile systems capable of reaching targets more than 2,000 kilometers away. The countries are now discussing a joint doctrine to coordinate the use of long-range weapons with France’s nuclear strategy.
