Macron threatened Russia with sanctions

French President Emmanuel Macron said he would promote the idea of imposing additional primary and secondary sanctions against Russia if the meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky does not take place.

"I hope that the trilateral meeting will take place. If next week we see that... this has not happened again, we will very clearly advocate the introduction of primary and secondary sanctions that will put more pressure on Russia," he said at a press conference.

Macron noted that over the weekend he and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will call the American leader to discuss the Ukrainian conflict. Macron also said that pressure will continue to impose additional sanctions not only by the European Union, but also The United States.
