Le Pen says she is ready to meet Zelenskyy in Brussels to discuss funding for Ukraine
Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far-right National Rally party, said she was ready to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Brussels to discuss future funding for Ukraine.
Le Pen made the remarks during a visit to the Made in France exhibition in Paris, Le Figaro reports, according to Censor.NET.
Le Pen's proposal
She said Brussels could host the meeting because, in her view, it was the most appropriate venue for a discussion on funding for Ukraine.
"Yes, if I can meet him in Brussels, I will tell the Ukrainian ambassador," she said.
"Besides, I think this [venue] would be entirely appropriate, because the reality is that the question of funding for Ukraine today is an issue that has shaken Europe," Le Pen added.
Le Pen's position on aid to Ukraine
- Earlier, Le Pen, who leads the polls for France's 2027 presidential election, pledged to stop funding Ukraine if elected. At the same time, she confirmed that she did not plan to end military aid.
- Zelenskyy responded to Le Pen by saying that partners were helping Ukraine grow stronger, and that Ukraine, in turn, would "provide security for others thanks to its experience."
