French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed support for imposing further sanctions on Russia if Moscow refuses to implement a ceasefire, emphasizing energy and financial services as potential targets.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced his willingness to implement new sanctions on Russia if it fails to agree to a ceasefire. Speaking during a televised interview, Macron highlighted financial services and the energy sector as potential areas for increased pressure.
Macron’s remarks align with similar statements by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who mentioned tightening sanctions on sectors such as energy and financial markets. Additionally, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot revealed that the European Commission had been tasked with drafting new measures in these areas.
Diplomats have noted the challenges in reaching consensus within the EU for additional sanctions after 16 prior packages targeting Russia for its actions in Ukraine. As discussions continue, the bloc faces hurdles in maintaining unanimous agreement among its 27 member states.
