European officials fear weakening support for Ukraine given the success of right-wing forces in elections in Germany and France

In Europe, officials fear a weakening of support for Ukraine if political forces that advocate a revision of course towards Kyiv are successful in elections in Germany and France. Reuters writes about this.

In particular, concern is associated with the strengthening of the positions of right-wing forces - the French National Rally and the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. At the same time, European officials are trying to convince allies that the EU will be able to maintain support for Kyiv even if other countries change course.

Brussels is concerned about statements by the leader of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen. According to her, if elected president, the “era of unconditional financial support” for Kyiv from Paris will end.

As the publication writes, against this background, Finnish President Alexander Stubb admitted that in the future the main burden of supporting Kyiv will fall on the countries of Northern Europe and the Baltics. Other states will distance themselves from the current course.
