Kremlin criticises Macron remarks on nuclear-armed planes

The Kremlin on Wednesday criticised comments by French President Emmanuel Macron that Paris is open to deploying nuclear-armed warplanes in other European countries, saying it would not enhance the continent's security. "The Americans have the bombs on planes in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Turkey," Macron told France's TF1 television on Tuesday. Asked about Macron's comments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "The proliferation of nuclear weapons on the European continent is something that will not add security, predictability and stability."
