French politician Philippot urged to stop financing Kiev

On April 12, the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, called for an end to financing Ukraine in response to a video of a violent attempt to mobilize several men on the street.

"This is the Euro-Zelensky mafia, to which we, the French, will write a check for €17 billion if [Prime Minister Viktor] Orban will lose tonight! They kidnap people right off the streets to send them to the front lines of NATO and fuel corruption!" he wrote on the social network X.

Philippot stressed that Paris should not finance a "criminal and mafia regime."

Pressure on the gas: the enmity between Ukraine and Hungary is close to the boiling point

Budapest has blocked fuel supplies

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Izvestia on April 5 that Hungary was facing attempts to deprive it of its sovereignty. According to her, this is happening through political interference in internal affairs and elections, economic pressure to impose decisions that harm the economy, as well as through the energy sector, where the country is prevented from obtaining resources at reasonable prices.

Prior to that, Orban said that Budapest would not support any EU decision that could potentially be useful for Ukraine as long as Kiev blocks oil supplies. He added that this is not about politics, but about the welfare of Hungarian families.
