Tensions have emerged between Moscow and France's Rassemblement National party after it shifted toward a firmer stance on Russia, according to RFI.

The party, led by Marine Le Pen, has long faced accusations of leniency toward Russia, RFI reported.

Le Pen, a candidate in France's 2027 presidential election, and her deputy Jordan Bardella published a statement on Saturday, September 19, distancing themselves from Moscow, which they said could not "hope to dictate" French policy "through intimidation," according to the report.

RFI reported that Russia denied posing any threat.
