“French President Emmanuel Macron teased potential new sanctions on Russia and an extended French nuclear deterrent during a major prime-time interview on French television on Tuesday. … Macron said that the European Commission was readying ‘in the coming days’ a new package of measures targeting ‘financial services, and oil, on secondary sellers’ in cooperation with the U.S. in case the Kremlin does not move toward agreeing to an unconditional ceasefire. … Macron reiterated that he was not in favor of seizing the €200 billion of Russian assets held in Brussels-based financial institution Euroclear that were frozen after the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022, despite reports that France has reportedly warmed to the idea.” (05/13/25)
