If Marin Le Pen wins, the French policy will enter a period of turbulence. Her statements about Russia give an idea of ??the overall strategy for Ukraine. It is likely that Le Pen will consider it inappropriate to continue the sanctions against the Russian Federation and recognizes the accession of Crimea legitimate. About this in his article for ZN. UA is written by the expert of the Institute of Social and Economic Studies Oksana Mitrofanova.

The author notes that for ordinary citizens, domestic policy issues are more relevant than external. When Le Pen urges to recognize that the accession of the Crimea was legal and to lift sanctions from Russia, it is necessary to understand that for most of the French, Ukraine is a distant country, poor and too corrupt. A country that some Frenchmen scornfully call white Africa.

Marin Le Pen also became a figurant of several scandals. However, for its rating they will not have such consequences, as in the case of Francois Fillon. It has long been written about the loan received by Le Pen from a bank connected with Russia, but this fact does not concern the French budget and the interests of the French directly,.



Meanwhile, the main candidates for the presidency of France have a support at 20% a few days before the election. Centrist Emmanuel Macron is leading the polls in the first round of French presidential elections, with support at 23%.
