Jean-Luc Mélenchon raises Ukraine peace deal in campaign speech

Jean-Luc Mélenchon emphasized the need for public consultation on territorial concessions in Ukraine during a rally near Paris. He criticized previous approaches and advocated for an active European role in peace negotiations. Mélenchon highlighted the importance of allowing affected populations to decide their fate regarding borders.
