Joe Biden was left isolated in his refusal to allow US weapons to be fired into Russia by Ukraine, after France and Germany relaxed their rules.
Emmanuel Macron said Ukraine is free to use its high powered weapons – which include French versions of Storm Shadows – to fire over the border.
He made the announcement alongside Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, while holding up a map showing Russian bases being used to attack Ukraine in the latest offensives.
Footing the lion’s share of the bill but not calling the shots is a bad look for Biden.
