Marine Le Pen amână retragerea Franței din comandamentul NATO

Marine Le Pen, the leading candidate in the French presidential elections, maintains her plan to withdraw France from NATO's integrated military command but will delay this until the war in Ukraine ends. She stated that France should not engage in war with Russia and would halt financial aid to Ukraine if elected. Le Pen's position marks a shift from her previous statements, where she indicated a withdrawal regardless of the war's status. She also mentioned the possibility of a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine post-conflict, aligning with the Coalition of the Willing's discussions on military presence in the region.
