La France ne peut “plus aider financièrement l’Ukraine”, estime Marine Le Pen
La candidate RN à l’élection présidentielle a dit regretter ce choix, qu’elle justifie par la situation financière “extravagante” de la France.
Paris — Marine Le Pen, the presidential election candidate for the National Rally, stated that France can no longer financially support Ukraine during a recent interview on POLITICO's Playbook Paris Live. Asked about France's support for Kyiv in the conflict with Russia, Le Pen explained that while the country can continue to train Ukrainian soldiers and military officials, it has reached a point where it can no longer provide financial aid, which it regrets.
She attributed this position to the dire state of France's public finances, describing them as "excessive" and blaming them on Emmanuel Macron's mandates. Le Pen highlighted the country's impending debt crisis and the need to make difficult decisions. She emphasized that while the situation is difficult, France must rely more on its diplomatic efforts to work towards a peaceful resolution in the ongoing war that started in 2022 with Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine.
"I believe it is honest to be upfront with President Zelensky about what I will do," Le Pen concluded.
