The European Union will impose new sanctions on Russia targeting 150 entities and 50 banks, as announced by French Minister Benjamin Haddad. France proposed most of the entities on the list. Haddad emphasized the need to maintain economic pressure on Russia while supporting Ukraine. He condemned Russia's recent travel bans on French journalists and parliamentarians, labeling it as intimidation. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot linked the bans to Russia's response to the expulsion of a Russian propagandist from France.
