If the leader of the far-right National Rally party, Marine Le Pen, wins a majority in parliament, she will seek to revoke Ukraine's permission to attack Russian territory with long-range weapons, which France provided.
She stated this in an interview with CNN and added that she would also oppose the possible sending of troops to Ukraine, which President Emmanuel Macron had previously stated.
– If Emmanuel Macron wants to send troops to Ukraine, and the Prime Minister is against it, then there will be no troops in Ukraine. The Prime Minister has the final say, she says.
In addition, Le Pen noted that her only “red line” regarding Ukraine is “preventing” France from becoming an “accomplice” in the war by using French long-range missiles against targets on Russian territory.

Early parliamentary elections in France
Emmanuel Macron has called early elections, which will be held in two stages – June 30 and July 7. And, according to exit polls, the far-right conservative National Rally party, led by Marine Le Pen, confidently won the first round of the parliamentary elections in France.
However, the second round of elections, scheduled for July 7, could radically change the situation.
After the first round of parliamentary elections, large-scale protests broke out in Paris against the victory of Marine Le Pen's party. Tens of thousands of dissatisfied people took to the streets of the city.
According to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, if the far-right forces win the parliamentary elections in France, Paris's arms aid to Ukraine could be significantly reduced.
