Russia criticises France’s nuclear missile test, warns of ‘dead-end path’

Russia criticised France’s test launch of nuclear-capable ballistic missile, saying it reflected Europe’s focus on militarisation and confrontation with Russia. “This is a dead-end path. As history shows, it leads to nothing good,” Kremlin spokesperson said. French President Emmanuel Macron described missile test as a clear message that would be “sent loud and clear” wherever it must be received.
