Marine Le Pen Warns France Could See Direct Conflict With Russia

Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's far-right National Rally party, warned on Wednesday the country could see a direct conflict with Russia by delivering weapons to Ukraine.

During a presidential debate against incumbent President Emmanuel Macron, Le Pen said, "I sounded the alert many times, but we need to be careful delivering weapons to Ukraine, could turn France [into a] co-belligerent. That is the concern."

Le Pen's comments come amid an ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, with numerous Western countries, including France, sending military weapons to Ukraine. To date, France has sent $109 million worth of weapons directly to Ukraine, French government spokesman Gabriel Attal previously said. France has also paved the way for over 50,000 Ukrainian refugees to stay in the nation.

Le Pen, who previously traveled to Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin has sought to distance any alleged ties to the country and its leader in recent weeks. She has said France should "give Ukrainian refugees a decent welcome," and expressed solidarity for Ukrainian refugees, Politico reported. On Monday, she also criticized Russia's military advances in Donbas, and wrote on Twitter that, "We must support all possible diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire and impose peace on Russia so that Ukraine regains its full sovereignty."

But I’m not sure she’s old enough to have a Vichy father. Maybe grandfather?
