European countries are planning to introduce another package of anti-Russian sanctions if RUSSIA refuses to cease fire in Ukraine and want to coordinate it with possible US measures . This was stated by French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot in an interview with the France Presse agency (AFP).

"We, the Europeans, are going to accompany this American initiative with the 17th package of sanctions, and yesterday I made a commitment to [US Senator] Lindsey Graham that we will try to coordinate these two packages of sanctions both in substance and in timing," Barro said.

Prior to this, on May 1, the HEAD of the French Foreign Ministry met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and discussed with him, in particular, ending the Ukrainian conflict and the rearmament of Europe.
