Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader of France, expressed willingness to discuss support for Ukraine with President Zelensky in Brussels, despite previous threats to cut financial aid. Zelensky aims to persuade Le Pen to maintain support if she wins the upcoming presidential elections. Le Pen stated that a meeting would be justified due to the growing concerns over Ukraine's funding in Europe. She plans to propose a meeting with Zelensky during her scheduled discussion with the Ukrainian ambassador in France. Recent polls indicate Le Pen is a frontrunner in the presidential race, and she claims France cannot afford to finance Ukraine's defense, while Zelensky disputed her financial estimates. The issue of aid to Ukraine is becoming a significant topic in the electoral campaigns as France seeks to reduce its deficit.
