    French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has expressed willingness to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Ukraine to discuss the reduction of French financial aid to Ukraine. Le Pen, representing the far-right party 'National Rally', cited France's financial difficulties as the reason for the proposed cut in aid, which has amounted to around six billion euros annually. Despite her readiness for a meeting, Le Pen's proposal does not yet constitute an official policy change. Zelensky has previously responded to Le Pen's statements, emphasizing the potential consequences for both Ukraine and France.
