EU to expand Ukraine sanctions blacklist – French minister
The EU will target new individuals with sanctions over their involvement in the conflict in Ukraine, France said Thursday as the 28-nation bloc's foreign ministers met to discuss fresh measures against Russia, The Associated Press reported.
"We will show the EU's very strong unity and take all necessary steps, including extending and expanding the individual sanctions, in order to secure a return to a negotiated solution," France's European affairs minister Harlem Desir told reporters in Brussels.
"We are going to reinforce the sanctions that target the separatists and those who support them, including in Russia."
