France is set to propose sanctions at the EU level against Russian companies and entities involved in spreading 'disinformation', as announced by French Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Sejourne. This initiative was disclosed in a series of tweets by various sources, including PiQSuite and FirstSquawk, highlighting France's commitment to combating disinformation within the European Union. The sanctions aim to target those spreading false information, with the French Foreign Minister making the announcement during a press conference alongside U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Additionally, the discourse around Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities was addressed, with contrasting positions from France and the U.S. While the French Foreign Minister supported Ukraine's actions as legitimate defense, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken and the U.S. Ambassador to NATO expressed a lack of support for Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, emphasizing a focus on Ukraine's right to defend its territory.
