The second round of accelerated parliamentary elections in France will take place on Sunday, July 7. Many indicate that the conservative National Rally party, one of whose leaders is Marine Le Pen, will win. As the politician mentioned, her coming to power could mean significant changes for Ukraine.

The war beyond our eastern border has been going on for two and a half years now. During this time, Ukraine has repeatedly proven that without support from Europe and the U.S., its continued involvement in the conflict will be under great question. So far, however, despite greater or lesser delays in arms deliveries, European countries have always delivered them on time.

However, it seems that the coming days will bring significant changes to Ukraine. As early as Sunday, July 7, France will decide who wins the accelerated parliamentary elections. Everything, however, points to the National Rally party, led by Marine Le Pen, known for supporting Vladimir Putin.

Even before the first round, much was said about the possible consequences of the National Rally party's victory for France, just as many changes await Ukraine, as Marine Le Pen is already saying, who spoke before the results of the second roundabout changing the French government's approach to the war.

Ukraine will lose the right to attack territory in Russia

As revealed in an interview with CNN, the leader of the National Rally party, one of the most significant changes for Ukrainians will be regarding striking targets on Russian territory. According to the leader of the National Rally party, the goal of her potential government will be to avoid involving the French military in the war.

At the same time, Le Pen discussed President Macron's proposed deployment of French soldiers to Ukraine. She opposes it and emphasizes that the prime minister will have the final say on this matter.

If Emmanuel Macron wants to send troops to Ukraine and the prime minister is against it, then there are no troops sent to Ukraine,” said Le Pen. She also emphasized that "The prime minister has the final say."
