Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally, is seeking to become France’s next president on a hardline anti-EU platform, pledging to cut the country’s contributions to the EU budget and end funding for Ukraine.
On Ukraine, Le Pen has repeatedly pledged to end financial assistance. Speaking to reporters in Brussels on Wednesday, she said that if elected, France could only sustain funding for six months because of the “perilous” state of its public finances.
