    Meloni has indeed been a huge positive surprise. But the far right party of France at least is deeply pro-Russia: https://www.politico.eu/article/france-far-right-manifesto-russia-nato-national-rally/

    Germany’s AfD also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AfD_pro-Russia_movement

    Hungary, obviously. At least for now – the next elections might bring an interesting change there.

    It’s way more typical that far-right is pro-Russia than pro-Ukraine. This makes sense from a political viewpoint, since the politics of Putin are far-right. If he wasn’t such a warmonger and thus a direct national threat, I’m sure more of them would be blatantly aligned with him.

    edit Also check out this recent voting result for the modernization of the German army:

    The far-right AfD overwhelmingly voted against it.

      LePen’s stance has changed over these past 3 years if I’m not mistaken. As for Germany, the “modernization of German army” is actually the conscription thing, right? It says “military service modernization act”, not modernization of the German army. Regardless, it’s not so relevant what AfD votes while in opposition if the law will be passed regardless. You have Finland’s far right approving the military expenditure while in government, the Spanish VOX supporting it too, Italy, Poland, Baltics… Sure, I agree there may be doubts about Germany and France, but looking at all of Europe, it’s not like the far right at large supports Russia.
