> Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of the right-wing Debout la France party, criticized European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s decision to provide Ukraine with an additional €6.1 billion. He said the EU was funding other people’s conflicts while demanding ever greater sacrifices from its own citizens. The money is intended for ammunition, drones, electronic warfare equipment, and air and missile defenses.
