PARIS: The European Union will approve more sanctions against Russia on Monday, France's Minister for European Affairs Benjamin Haddad said on Thursday.
"On Monday, we will take new sanctions against Russia, on 150 additional entities, 50 banks and it's France which proposed the bulk of the entities to add," Haddad told LCI television.
"We will continue to put economic pressure on Russia and of course support Ukraine," he added.
Haddad also condemned Russia's decision on Wednesday to ban Le Monde newspaper reporter Ariane Chemin, freelance journalist and former Moscow correspondent Paul Gogo, as well as two French lawmakers, Sacha Houlie and Arthur Delaporte, from entering Russia.
