Le Pen calls for cancellation of authorisation for Ukraine to use French weapons to strike Russia

Marine Le Pen, the de-facto leader of the French far-right National Rally party, has promised that if her party comes to power after the second round of parliamentary elections, she will not allow Ukraine to use French long-range weapons to strike Russia.


The results of the latest two polls in France predict that the right-wing populist National Rally will not win an absolute majority in the National Assembly in the second round of the 7 July parliamentary elections.
The right-wing populist National Rally and its allies won more than 33% of the vote in the first round of early parliamentary elections in France on 30 June.


There is a little more at the Ukrainian source.

Nevertheless, this is not a helpful sign if she ends up in a position to make it so.

The coalition against her gives some hope. If it holds she could be defeated.
