France's National Assembly resumed its work on Monday with a debate on the war in Ukraine and its consequences for France, with a call from Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne to "continue the sanctions" to "make the cost of the war unbearable for Russia".
"Our objective has been the same from the start: making the cost of the war unbearable for Russia, hitting its economy hard to prevent it from financing its offensive," Borne told the National Assembly as MPs returned to work after their summer break.
