Leader of French far-right party pledges to restrict aid to Ukraine

She said this in an interview with CNN. 

According to Le Pen, the Prime Minister from her party would not permit Ukraine to use French long-range missiles to target Russian territory.

"If Emmanuel Macron wants to send troops to Ukraine, and the Prime Minister is against it, then troops will not be sent to Ukraine. The Prime Minister has the final say," she said.

Le Pen also emphasized that her only "red line" regarding Ukraine is that France should not become an "accomplice to the conflict" by allowing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use long-range missiles from Paris to strike Russia.

CNN notes that most Western leaders do not consider such authorization to be participation in the war.
