A new round of sanctions against Russia is needed, French President Emmanuel Macron said today, adding that there are clear indications that Russian forces are responsible for killings in the Ukrainian town of Bukhara.

There are very clear indications that point to war crimes. It is more or less proven that the Russian army is responsible (for the killings in Bukhara), Macron told France Inter radio station.

What happened in Bukhara requires a new round of sanctions and very clear measures, he added.

These new sanctions should target coal and oil, suggested Macron, who this month is expected to seek re-election to the presidency.

Russia yesterday, Sunday, denied its forces were responsible for the civilian deaths in the town of Bukhara, accusing Ukraine of putting on a show for Western media.

The Russian economy is facing its worst crisis since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 after the US and its allies imposed sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine on February 24.
