French President Emmanuel Macron and his seven leading challengers in the upcoming presidential election were quizzed on the war in Ukraine and Europe's looming energy crisis on Monday night in the first televised match-up ahead of the April 10 vote.
The three-hour programme hosted by TF1 was the first of three televised match-ups before the first round of the election on April 10, when the pack of 12 presidential hopefuls will be pared down to just two.
