He said this during a press conference following the EU summit.
According to Macron, the sixth package of EU sanctions against Russia is very important.
“It provides for sanctions against about 80 oligarchs, as well as three TV channels,” the French leader said.
He also said that the new package of sanctions would allow "disconnecting the first Russian bank from the SWIFT system and introducing an oil embargo for the first time."
Earlier, the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, said that the sixth package of anti-Russian sanctions by the European Union, which includes an embargo on tanker oil supplies from Russia to the EU countries, could be finally approved on June 1-2.
