Bardella is expected to become her prime minister if she ends up winning.<\/p>\n<p>Their joint statement putting distance between themselves and Moscow came after the Kremlin this week ordered Russian subsidiaries of several big French businesses seized, along with the subsidiary of Swiss food giant Nestle.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow said the move was a blow against \u201cunfriendly countries\u201d that back Ukraine, which it has invaded and is fighting to conquer.<\/p>\n<p>French President Emmanuel Macron \u2014 who is not contesting next year\u2019s election, having reached his two-term limit \u2014 on Friday hosted a meeting of French political leaders to discuss the growing threat from Moscow. Le Pen did not attend the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Le Pen\u2019s rivals in the presidential race accuse her of being cosy with Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>Her party previously contracted a 9.4-million-euro ($11-million) loan with a Moscow bank, which was paid off in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Although Le Pen traveled to Moscow in 2017 to see Putin, she went on to condemn Russia\u2019s all-out invasion of Ukraine launched in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In her statement with Bardella on Saturday, she said that Russia \u201ccannot hope to directly or indirectly dictate the policies\u201d of France through \u201cintimidation, threats, destabilization or psychological pressure\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>They added: \u201cNo provocation, no clandestine operation and no destabilization action will be able to push France to facilitate Russia\u2019s war aims in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>self.__next_f.push([1,\"10:I[67601,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"WebVitalsReporter\\\"]\\n11:I[39683,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/145oieyucf7xw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2cvdaqdj6b3le.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0wdohbbl64rk3.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0ga9k6tk8l5i2.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/04hvlg7gpzexw.js\\\"],\\\"SearchForm\\\"]\\n12:I[22016,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/145oieyucf7xw.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2cvdaqdj6b3le.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0wdohbbl64rk3.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/0ga9k6tk8l5i2.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/2ps6hgji9h3c_.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/3i8gsqzt-9hft.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1twczkb2tn50j.js\\\",\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/1krl3vx59vk3v.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n13:I[79520,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"\\\"]\\n14:I[32700,[\\\"\/_next\/static\/chunks\/26feds4rxab-x.js\\\"],\\\"ChartbeatTracker\\\"]\\n2:[\\\"$\\\",\\\"html\\\",null,{\\\"lang\\\":\\\"en\\\",\\\"dir\\\":\\\"ltr\\\",\\\"className\\\":\\\"playfair_9b22208d-module__j_-Mhq__className
