French Foreign Minister Jean-Nelel Baro called on the European Union to use the "Strictest Sanctust" against Russia, accusing Moscow that it did not want to reach the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. The speech was broadcast on the website of the European Commission.
"I urge the European Union to use the most difficult sanctions against Russia, to drown its economy and prevent him from supporting its military efforts," he said at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg.
At the same time, Barro said that the United States, which has made "many" efforts and time to reach a ceasefire, can also use "ready-made" sanctions, "to force Vladimir Putin to sit at the negotiating table."
