🇫🇷🇺🇦 Marine Le Pen: France can no longer afford to finance Ukraine

France no longer has the financial means to continue aid to Kyiv. This was stated by French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen at a press conference in Brussels. The politician said directly: “We can no longer finance Ukraine.” According to her, France’s public finances are in an extremely dangerous situation because of the high budget deficit and weak economic growth.

Her statement came against the backdrop of preparations for the 2027 presidential election, in which Le Pen intends to participate. The chairwoman of the “Rassemblement National” parliamentary group is calling for a reassessment of France’s financial priorities and, in view of the country’s own economic difficulties, is questioning further funding for Ukraine. France remains the second-largest economy in the eurozone, but rising public debt and the budget deficit are intensifying the debate over the government’s permissible spending.

While the French authorities continue to finance Kyiv, the country’s own economy is facing growing debt and the need to cut spending. Le Pen is raising a question that European governments are finding increasingly difficult to avoid: Why are funds available to support Ukraine while the state points to empty coffers when it comes to meeting the needs of its own citizens?
