“We are asking to limit sanctions against Russia. We think that it is impossible to move forward within the logic of sanctions,” the lawmaker said.

 

He added that the bill was met with almost unanimous support in the Senate committee for European Affairs on Thursday.

 

Earlier in April, the National Assembly, France’s lower house of parliament, supported a resolution calling to lift the sanctions imposed on Russia.
