French European Affairs Minister Benjamin Haddad says Brussels will roll out a fresh round of sanctions against Russia on Monday. The package targets 150 additional entities and 50 banks, he told LCI television on Thursday.
France did the heavy lifting on the list. Haddad said Paris had proposed most of the entities included in the new measures, part of a continued push for economic pressure on Moscow and backing for Ukraine.
Haddad also hit back at Russia's decision to bar two French lawmakers, Sacha Houlie and Arthur Delaporte, along with journalists Ariane Chemin and Paul Gogo, from entering the country. He called the move intimidation and made clear Paris would not fold — 'France will not be intimidated,' he said.
The sanctions land Monday, days after Moscow's travel ban on the four French nationals.
