France cannot keep financing Ukraine, presidential candidate Marine Le Pen says

BRUSSELS: France cannot keep financing Ukraine due to the “perilous” state of the euro zone’s second-biggest economy, far-right presidential candidate Marine Le ⁠Pen said on ⁠Wednesday. “We can no longer finance Ukraine,” Le Pen ⁠told reporters in Brussels. “France today is in an extremely perilous situation,” she added, referring to the country’s high deficit and weak ⁠economic growth. Current ⁠polls predict Le Pen winning next year’s presidential vote.
