Macron accuses Le Pen of betraying France.
French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Marine Le Pen for her stance on the Ukrainian conflict, BFMTV reports. According to aides, Macron believes that if Le Pen wins the 2027 election and stops supporting Kiev, it will isolate Paris among its European allies.
"If Marine Le Pen decides to completely stop aid to Ukraine, she will isolate us in Europe. It is working against France," his aides quoted him as saying.
Macron also accused the administration of Donald Trump of supporting Russia's position regarding the settlement in Ukraine. The French leader compared Le Pen to the Italian politician Matteo Salvini, and claimed that both are ready to "stab the Ukrainians in the back. ".
