    Melenchon is definitely not in favour of Russia keeping Ukraine.

    Isn’t he? Last I checked he opposed sending arms for Ukraine to defend itself, supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and said NATO was to blame for the war.

      What Mélenchon thinks is of little consequence. All the left parties have put together the baselines of a common program, and supporting Ukraine is a big part of it.

      Mélenchon is too disliked by the rest of the left to be considered for PM if it comes to that anyway, and all other potentiel candidates are strongly in favour of helping Ukraine.
