Marine Le Pen, co-leader of France’s far-right National Rally, said France cannot keep backing Ukraine at its current level because of financial constraints. She said France could continue training Ukrainian troops and supplying defensive equipment, but should reduce financial aid while pensions lack funding. Her position comes ahead of France’s presidential election.
