MOSCOW (Sputnik) – France is growing poorer through continued financial and military support of Ukraine, The Patriots party leader Florian Philippot warned on Saturday, challenging the French prime minister’s refusal to advocate for peace.
«This stubborn refusal of negotiations and peace worsens the human toll of this war by the day, while impoverishing France by the day and putting us in serious danger! Stop sending weapons and money to Ukraine,» Philippot wrote on social media.
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal insisted this week that Ukraine would continue to hold out as long as France continued supporting it. Philippot argued that Ukrainians would «continue dying» instead.
Attal admitted during an interview with BFMTV on Thursday that there would be a price for helping Ukraine but he suggested that food and energy prices would grow even higher and migration flows to Europe would become greater if Russia were to win.
