The leader of the French National Rally party, Marine Le Pen, sharply condemned the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the assets of European companies that continue to operate in Russia, including the French companies Nestlé and Auchan.
Le Pen described these actions as a 'hostile act' and emphasized that Russia will never dictate France's policy through threats, destabilization, or psychological pressure.
She also stated that no operations or provocations from the Kremlin will force Paris to assist in achieving Russia's goals in Ukraine.
