We review what went wrong for the far-right standardbearer on the night in 2017, whether she has softened her stances as she claims and whether the sitting French president can overcome incumbent fatigue or avoid coming across as a know-it-all.
And what about morale on both sides? How will Vladimir Putin react? As the West pledges more and more weapons to Ukraine, the Kremlin is threatening a new bombing campaign against the capital.
It is cost of living, not foreign policy, that's top of voters' minds. But the price hikes are not happening in a vacuum. What lessons can be drawn from the global scramble unfolding for goods and raw materials and the overdependence on Russian oil and gas? Is France better off bargaining on its own or as part of a broader EU on energy, healthcare and immigration?
We ask about the momentum in the homestretch, a sizeable protest vote from the extremes and about the third man: veteran left-wing firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who fell just shy of leapfrogging Le Pen and who emerges from Sunday's first round as the uncontested leader of a more defiant left. Where will his votes go on April 24?
Bucha and Borodyanka are both satellite towns around Kyiv which were left destroyed by the Russian invasion. Their residents are traumatised. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has called the Western reaction to the revelations of atrocities in Bucha "hysteria".
But more broadly, the war did not happen in a vacuum: of all the former Soviet states, Ukraine is the one with the largest Russian population. The breakup of the USSR was described by Putin way back in 2005 as the last century's "greatest geopolitical catastrophe." And just as the Russian president has had 22 years to consolidate his grip on the oligarchs, the media and the security apparatus, he has also moved methodically to restore and grow the grandeur of Russkiy Mir, the Russian world.
Is this just a bit of hyperbole that will soon be forgotten as the world watches Russia bomb civilians and push its invasion of Ukraine? Or a moment as significant as when Putin issued a thinly-veiled threat of nuclear war last month to deter the West from intervening? We dust off the Cold War playbook to see what works and what does not.
Exactly one month after Vladimir Putin launched what many predicted would be a lightning offensive, FRANCE 24 takes you to Irpin, one of those frontline suburbs of the capital Kyiv where Ukrainians now claim to be on the counter-offensive. Is it a turning point? Or are the Russians – who enjoy air supremacy – simply taking a breather while they pound major urban centres?
