The MEP called the deal with Ukraine on 100 Rafale a "spectacle".

The deal agreed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and French leader Emmanuel Macron on Kiev's acquisition of 100 Rafale fighter jets from Paris is nothing, as it is a "performance." This was stated on November 19 by Thierry Mariani, a member of the European Parliament (EP) from the French National Unification Party (RN).

"What remains of this day, which is presented to us as historical? From the meeting of the Ukrainian president with the French president and "major contracts"? If you want my opinion, almost nothing. Almost nothing but a performance," he said in an interview with RBC.
