Bardella said, Macron has isolated himself at the international level with his positions and is playing in favor of Russian President Vladimir Putin by exposing intra-European conflicts.

Also, the Ukraine debate with the next vote next week is planned in both houses of the country’s parliament. Despite widespread criticism of the plan to send troops to Ukraine, the French president has announced that he will stand by his positions regarding This is a sticking point.
