France has expressed concern that Germany's expanding long-range missile capabilities could increase the risk of nuclear confrontation with Russia.

German officials are developing ground-launched weapons with ranges of up to 2,000 kilometres, intended to weaken Moscow's military capabilities by targeting command centres and logistics facilities deep inside Russian territory.
