Internet users doubted that the condemnation of Russia came from the lips of the far-right Le Pen sincerely.
The leader of the far-right political party National Rally, member of the French Legislative Assembly Marine Le Pen, known for her pro-Russian position, while addressing parliament, suddenly turned her political vector 180 degrees and accused Russia of starting a war in Ukraine. The corresponding fragment of the speech appeared in the official X-account Le Pen.
Having accused Moscow of starting the war, Le Pen expressed respect and support for Ukraine.
In addition, the leader of the “National Association” focused on the fact that it was the Russian Federation that became the culprit of the largest geopolitical crisis in Europe in the last two decades.
“By invading Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russia triggered a war on the doorstep of the European Union and a geopolitical crisis that is undoubtedly the most dramatic in the last 20 years. Our respect and our support for the Ukrainian nation“, she stated.
However, users of the social network X in the comments accused Le Pen of hypocrisy and insincerity, recalling that she systematically votes against supporting Ukraine.
They also recalled Le Pen’s visit to Russia, meetings with Putin and suspicions that the lion’s share of funding for her election campaign came from Moscow. It was assumed that she is now only creating the appearance of supporting Ukraine in order to gain access to that part of the French electorate that condemns Russian aggression.
By the way, it is known that Marine Le Pen recently criticized President Macron’s statements that he does not rule out sending troops to Ukraine, as well as imposing sanctions against Russia.
Let us remind you that French Prime Minister Attal emotionally supported Kyiv and spoke in Ukrainian.
Meanwhile Zelensky in a conversation with French media, he spoke about Putin’s specific goals not only in Ukraine, but also in Europe.
