Marine Le Pen has pledged to suspend French military aid to Ukraine if she wins the presidency, aligning with a potential shift in US policy under Trump. This signals a possible fracture in Western support for Kyiv, though her election is uncertain. The statement escalates political pressure on Ukraine's allies as European leaders weigh continued backing.
Marine Le Pen, a French presidential candidate, has confirmed her intent to halt French military and financial aid to Ukraine if elected, and to reduce France's EU budget contributions. This policy shift is contingent on her election, which remains uncertain, and her proposed EU budget cuts have not garnered full support from European far-right allies.
