The UK allegedly followed President Biden's example of authorizing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with US missiles by approving Ukraine's use of the UK's Storm Shadow missiles, escalating military involvement, Western media earlier said.
The possible use of European long-range missiles in the Ukrainian conflict is irresponsible and insane, as this would lead to a third world war, president of the French political party Les Patriotes Florian Philippot told Sputnik Africa.
The election of Donald Trump has spread panic among NATO, the EU and "war hawks," which explains why Paris may authorize Kiev to use long-range weapons to strike deep into Russia.
According to the speaker, some people wanted to sow chaos before the inauguration of the Republican presidential winner, scheduled for January 20.
"Some people want to pave an irreversible path to a third world war. It's completely irresponsible and crazy. It corresponds to their war plans, but not to our interests and not to what the people want," said the French politician.
Les Patriotes will organize a demonstration for peace in Paris on December 1, Philippot noted.
