Ukraine Invasion: France rules out military action against Russia
France is not considering a military solution to the Ukrainian crisis, French State Secretary for European Affairs, Clement Beaune, said on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, European Union foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, announced sanctions against Moscow, targeting 351 lawmakers of the parliament’s lower house, the State Duma, and 27 individuals and legal entities.
“Sanctions are a difficult option, we should be united in this, but we do not see a military option. Sanctions are already a strong signal,” Mr Beaune told France Inter broadcaster.
The new round of EU sanctions followed Russia’s president Vladimir Putin granting of independence to Ukraine’s separatist Donetsk and Luhansk regions on Monday.
