The invasion of Ukraine by Russia will most certainly be one of the sticking points of the debate between the two rounds which will oppose Marine Le Pen to Emmanuel Macron this April 20, 2022. But what provisions these “(already) finalists” did they display towards Vladimir Putin in 2017?

A career slowed down by the war

Regarding the Ukrainian conflict (which dates back, for the record, to 2014), the president called for a de-escalation conditioned, according to him, "on respect for the process underway by Vladimir Putin".

Emmanuel Macron took the opportunity to specify that in no case would he submit to the “diktat of the Russian president, bearer of values ​​that are not ours.

This is my big difference with Madame Le Pen's project,” he underlined.



Marine Le Pen, she reproached her adversary for her “moral lessons given to the whole world… well, except to your friends like Qatar and Saudi Arabia”.

Invited by the journalists leading the debate to speak about Vladimir Putin, the candidate of the National Rally affirmed that France should stand "equidistant from Russia and the United States".


She even recommended “to engage, with Russia, diplomatic, commercial and strategic relations because it is a great nation and that Russia did not express hostility with regard to France”.
