Kosachev: French Senate's resolution puts another dent in pressure on Russia

The resolution of the French Senate calling to ease anti-Russian sanctions gradually is a "serious signal" to the country’s government and the Council of the European Union, Russian Federation Council lawmaker Konstantin Kosachev said.

"The resolution puts a dent in the ‘unanimous and unconditional’ pressure on Russia in general and at least in this respect is a step in a right direction," Kosachev wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday, stressing that the document was adopted by a 90% majority with an almost 100% turnout at the Senate’s session.

"This is a very serious signal to the government of France and the Council of the European Union," TASS cited him mas saying.
