The day before, Le Figaro reported that France and Britain also allowed Ukraine to strike Russia with SCALP/Storm Shadow missiles against the backdrop of the approval of the corresponding decision by American leader Joe Biden on ATACMS.

Now the publication has been edited and replaced with information about the US decision. This was reported by 24 Channel with a link to the amended version of the article in Le Figaro.

What was changed in the article

Le Figaro reported that Great Britain and France allowed Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory with their SCALP/Storm Shadow missiles at the same time as the Biden administration lifted the ban on strikes against Russia with long-range ATACMS missiles.

However, the publication has now removed this information and writes only about the decision of the United States. There is no longer any clear mention of permission from London and Paris.

Debates were already raging in the offices about permission to use Western missiles against Russian territory. Emmanuel Macron spoke in favor of this during a state visit to Germany in May 2024, the edited material says.
