EU President Calls Far-Right Parties "Putin's Proxies" | Vantage with Palki Sharma European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has called far-right parties "Putin's proxies" weeks ahead of elections to the European parliament. Opinion polls suggest that far-right parties could make significant gains and influence EU's policy on Ukraine and Russia.

Von der Leyen is said to be reaching out to Italy's right-wing prime minister Giorgia Meloni for support from her right-of-centre coalition. What would a far-right European Union look like? How would it affect the war in Ukraine? Palki Sharma tells you. --- Europe | European Union | MEP | Far Right | Vladimir Putin | Ursula von der Leyen | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #europeanunion #elections2024 #vladimirputin #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
