Macron highlights the war in Ukraine to stand up to Le Pen


This is the message with which Emmanuel Macron wants to reduce the distance with the far right. The French President has put the war in Ukraine at the center of the discussion. After being overshadowed by months of conflict in Gaza and farmer unrest, the pulse of war in Eastern Europe has once again dominated political and media conversations.
