Brussels has validated a giant loan for kyiv of 90 billion allocated by 2027. This would cost France “18 billion over two years”, regretted the president of the RN.
Possible candidate for the Élysée and favorite in the polls, the president of the National Rally Jordan Bardella reaffirms Thursday that he wants «help Ukraine » but without him “send the money that France doesn’t have”while Brussels is preparing to release the first tranche of its giant loan to kyiv. This first payment of just over 3 billion euros should take place in mid-June, the European Commission announced on Wednesday. In total, 90 billion will be allocated to Ukraine by 2027, for its arms supplies and its current budgetary needs.
Except that “This new financial commitment (…) is not financed and will not be, because Ukraine will never be able to repay this loan”declares Jordan Bardella in an interview with Point. However, France will have to contribute up to “18 billion over two years”calculates the president of the RN, who wonders “how France intends to finance aid to Ukraine today”given its budget deficits. “France’s specialty is spending money it doesn’t have. This model is not sustainable.”he insists.

“Help Ukraine, yes”more “We do not want to send to Ukraine the money that France does not have and which is sorely lacking to finance its own economy”summarizes Jordan Bardella, without specifying what form the aid granted to kyiv would take if the RN came to power next year. “If a certain number of states in Europe wish to send weapons and funds to Ukraine, that is their complete freedom. On the other hand, when this aid is pledged to the European budget, the question arises”he continues, pointing in passing “The depths of corruption in the Ukrainian regime”.
Always worried “that support for Ukraine does not lead to a latent war” with Russia, although it continues to “condemn the violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine” by Moscow, Mr. Bardella calls above all for “negotiate (…) as quickly as possible” a “peace that allows Ukraine to obtain security guarantees”.
