European far-right politicians distance themselves from Putin, shift support toward Ukraine

France 24 reports that a new generation of European far-right politicians are abandoning their historical alignment with Russia and Vladimir Putin, instead moving toward support for Ukraine. According to analyst Thibault Muzergues cited in the debate segment, "the image of Putin as the great power is totally gone" among these younger right-wing leaders. This shift represents a significant realignment of European populist movements away from Moscow's geopolitical orbit. The development carries global implications for Russia's ability to cultivate political allies in Europe amid its ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
