‘Statements by French President Macron about the possible deployment of troops in Ukraine are made for pre-election purposes’, – Marine Le Pen

Statements by French President Macron about the possible deployment of troops in Ukraine are made for electoral purposes.

This is the opinion of Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French party “National Rally.”

“This is pre-election political communication (elections to the European Parliament will be held in June), but this cannot be done. There is something in Emmanuel Macron’s behavior that I do not recognize, namely, that he is playing politics with war. Emmanuel Macron seeks to set a trap for his opponents according to the principle: ‘Either you support Macron, or if you do not support Macron, you support Putin’,” Le Pen said.

In her opinion, “the only way to help Ukraine” is to give it the opportunity to negotiate an end to the war.

According to Le Pen, “France has no vital interests in Ukraine.”

“France’s vital interests are not in question… Russia does not have the military means to wage war against the whole of Europe,” the politician said.
