France will summon the Russian ambassador to ​Paris in the coming days over an alleged ​cyberhacking campaign that Russia has carried out ⁠against European countries including France, French Foreign Minister ​Jean-Noel Barrot said on Monday. He added France would also ​place sanctions on some Russian individuals and entities. “Today, we will publicly condemn a widespread cyber campaign conducted by Russia that ​aimed to carry out sabotage and spying conducted ​against a dozen countries,” Barrot told BFM TV. “We will summon the ‌Russian ⁠ambassador to France in the coming days,” he said, adding that France would sanction nine Russian individuals and four Russian entities regarding this campaign of ​cyberattacks that Barrot ​said Russia’s ⁠Federal Security Service had orchestrated. The European Union is trying to seal a 21st ​package of sanctions against Moscow in response ​to ⁠Russia’s war with Ukraine and may on Monday decide to add further names to their sanctions list, the ⁠European Union’s ​foreign policy chief said. The French ​government has previously accused Moscow of conducting cyberattacks against the country.
