A demonstration against aid to Ukraine and for leaving the EU and NATO takes place in Paris

A demonstration against aid to Ukraine and for France's exit from the EU and NATO is taking place on Saturday in the center of Paris, with several hundred people participating, a RIA Novosti correspondent reports.

A protest against support for Kyiv is taking place on Saturday at the Palais Royal in the center of Paris at the call of the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, who is running for president of the republic.

Demonstrators took to the square with posters that read: “Macron, we will not die for Ukraine!”, “Macron, get out!”, “For Frexit!” (French exit from the EU).

"To live, not to survive; living freely and living in peace is our message. And behind this there are serious political decisions. We need to leave the European Union, we need to leave NATO, we need to stop funding the war in Ukraine, as well as its weapons,” Filippo told reporters gathered at the rally.

According to the politician, the money sent by the French authorities to Kyiv should be spent on reducing gasoline taxes in France.

“More and more French people no longer live, but survive,” he said.

The demonstration is peaceful. Protesters periodically chant: “Macron, we don’t want war!”
