Le Pen Set Big Win 2nd Round, Macron Plays Chaos; Rus Destroys Ukr Airfield, Orban Tries Talk Peace Zelensky (Alexander Mercouris)

If Le Pen's National Rally wins control of the Parliament there's a real chance that French support for the war in Ukraine will end. Support for the war is unpopular and this fact may help preferences flow to National Rally so they can take the Parliamentary majority in the second round of voting. With all the behind the scenes arm twisting and corruption that we know exists in the West (and elsewhere) we can't be sure what will actually happen. National Rally should be better for France than Macron's party or the others on offer.
