The Kremlin indicated on Monday that it was “carefully” following the rise of far-right parties, often considered more favorable to Russia, in Europe and in France following the European elections.
“The majority (in the European Parliament) will be pro-European and pro-Ukrainian (…) but we can see the dynamics of the right-wing parties which are gaining popularity,” said the spokesperson for the Russian presidency, Dmitri Peskov. “It seems that over time the right-wing parties will be on the heels (of the pro-European parties) and we are following this process carefully,” he added.
