France to deliver more military equipment to Ukraine, ramp up sanctions against Russia

France will send more military equipment, as well as fuel, to Ukraine to help fight off the Russian invasion and slap more economic sanctions on Moscow, the presidency says.

The new sanctions would encompass “national measures to freeze the financial assets of Russian figures,” as well as “new measures” to be taken “with European partners concerning the SWIFT” interbank system, the Elysee says in a statement.
