France promises Russia economic and financial confrontation, declared Economy and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire on France Info.
“We will wage an all-out economic and financial war with Russia,” he said, adding that Paris intends to seek the destruction of the Russian economy. According to him, the sanctions will be applied until Moscow returns to “the best intentions” regarding Ukraine.
Le Maire’s statement follows the general course of the West, which is implementing a number of economic restrictions in response to the Russian operation announced on February 24 in the Donbass, the purpose of which was called the denazification of Ukraine. The French minister himself has already noted that decisions on sanctions are made in the EU, despite the fact that the European states themselves will have to deal with difficulties.
Large Russian banks, politicians, businessmen faced restrictions, a number of states also closed their airspace to Russian airlines.
