Marine Le Pen: Naive to think EU needs Ukraine
Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's Front National, has denounced the EU approach to the Ukrainian crisis as intervention in the home affairs of a nation, which she said did not need EU integration in the first place. She also described as "strange, to say the least" the Union's demand that Ukraine's legally-elected government step down just because that's what a few dozens of thousands wanted. The head of France's third largest party compared the situation in Ukraine to what had been going on in France when some 1.5 million protesters took to the streets to rally against Paris's decision to allow gay marriages and yet she stressed Brussels never doubted the legitimacy of President Francois Hollande. The Voice of Russia's readers and listeners have shared their take on the discrepancy, which was brought to the fore by Marine Le Pen.
