According to Le Pen, if Ukraine were to join the EU, France would be the first to suffer as a result.

"Not only would we face fierce unfair competition, but the share of the CAP budget allocated to French agriculture would also be considerably reduced," she said.

Len Pen's position on supporting Ukraine

  • In July, Le Pen announced that she would run in the 2027 French presidential election after a Paris appeals court reduced the length of her ban from holding elected office.
  • Earlier, Louis Aliot, vice president of the far-right French party "National Rally," stated that his party would cease aid to Ukraine if it came to power after the 2027 French presidential election.
  • Le Pen herself recently stated that Paris could continue military cooperation with Ukraine, including training Ukrainian military personnel and providing defense equipment. At the same time, she proposes halting financial aid.
