'Unanimous' willingness at G7 to keep up pressure on Russia: French minister

G7 finance ministers were "unanimous" at their meeting in Paris on keeping up economic pressure on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, France's finance minister said Tuesday.

The "willingness to keep pressure on Russia was unanimous", Roland Lescure said, after the US troubled allies by announcing a temporary extension of the suspension of sanctions on Russian oil stored at sea, amid concerns over the surge in prices casued by the Middle East war.
