Biden urged Macron on the need for sanctions against Russia

The United States President Joe Biden contacted his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron by phone. They discussed the situation around Ukraine.

This is reported by the publication “Strana.ua”, referring to the press service of the White House. The heads of the two states traditionally discussed the imaginary Russian invasion of the territory of Ukraine.

Macron and Biden said that the Russian Federation was allegedly building up forces on the border. From this, they immediately moved on to the fact that both are very worried and support the sovereignty of Ukraine.

In addition, the presidents of the United States and France raised their favorite topic – sanctions against Russia. For now, they are going to be introduced if the dreams of war come true. However, the United States is clearly determined: the Democrats insist on passing a bill on preventive restrictions.

Biden agreed with Macron that they would continue to contact on this issue and monitor the situation. They will also discuss this topic with other allies in the European Union and NATO.
