France’s Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot delivered a wide-ranging address linking the Bondi terror attack in Australia with Europe’s tightening stance on Russia, Ukraine and global security. Barrot said Russia is politically, militarily and economically failing, with battlefield gains coming at the cost of heavy human losses. He confirmed that Russian assets in Europe will remain frozen until the war ends and reparations are paid to Ukraine, while announcing new EU sanctions targeting Russia’s so-called ghost fleet, foreign interference networks and Kremlin-linked propaganda figures. Barrot also outlined Europe’s positions on Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, China, Haiti and organized crime, signalling a harder and more autonomous European approach on security, sanctions and global stability.

01:31on the beach where the massacre happened,
01:33to recueillir and express the name of France
01:37and the Australian people

01:43In Ukraine,
01:45Russia is in defeat
01:47politically,
01:48militarily,
01:49economically.
01:50The progress of the millimetric
01:51on the front
01:52is made
01:53at the price of human lives
01:56and it is in this context
01:57that the discussions continue
01:59between the Ukrainians,
02:00European and the Americans
02:01today,
02:02at Berlin.
02:03And it is also in this context
02:05that the Europeans
02:07have decided to take their destiny
02:08in mind,
02:09with a very significant decision
02:10to start with the decision
02:12by the one who was taken
02:14on Monday,
02:15which was made up
02:16to the Russia
02:17of its Russian
02:18placed in Europe
02:19as long as necessary
02:20until the Russia
02:22of Vladimir Putin
02:23to end their war
02:24and restore
02:26the reparations
02:27to Ukraine.
02:28This is a major decision
02:29since,
02:30until now,
02:31and since 2022,
02:32the Russian
02:33placed in Europe
02:34were immobilized.
02:36But this immobilization
02:37should be renewed
02:38every six months
02:39to the unanimity
02:40of the United States.
02:41Now,
02:42these sums
02:43are blocked
02:44and will not be
02:45closed
02:46only when the war
02:47will take the end
02:48and that the reparations
02:49will have been sent
02:50to Ukraine.
02:51Today,
02:52here at Bruxelles,
02:53we continue to take
02:54measures of sanctions
02:55against actors

03:55the public public
03:56français
03:57and European.

05:18between the Lebanese civil and the Israeli civil
05:22in the cadre of this mechanism of follow-up
05:24of the ceasefire-feu
05:25that we have created last year.
05:27We work at the place of a second mechanism

05:32to the disarmament of the Hezbollah,
05:34essential to avoid escalate
05:36and guarantee
05:38a credible way
05:40to a full and entire sovereignty

05:43In Syria,
05:45a year after the end of the war
05:48of Bashar al-Assad,
05:49the country has been marked
05:51by the assassination
05:52of two American militants
05:55and contributors
05:56that we have condemned
05:57with the most firmness
05:58and which illustrate
05:59the security issue
06:00which is confronted
06:02the transition
06:03that we have to support
06:05to prevent
06:06the risk of terrorism,
06:09the instability
06:10which is always present,
06:12that the Syrian authorities
06:15work to be able to
06:18continue.
06:19Now I'm going to
06:20to the China,
06:21where the President of the Republic
06:22was in place
06:23there were 10 days
06:24which has been
06:25an opportunity
06:27with the President Xi
06:29and the Chinese authorities
06:30and I solicited
06:32from the head
06:33of the representative
06:34an exchange
06:35that we will have
06:36today
06:37to share the
06:39and the proposals.
06:41The President of the
06:42Republic
06:43has proposed
06:44in China
06:45to open a way
06:46of re-equilibrium
06:47with this country
06:48which consists
06:49for Europe
06:50to accentuate
06:51its efforts
06:52in terms of competitiveness,
06:53for China
06:54to stimulate
06:55its internal demand
06:56and to re-ouvrir
06:57its market
06:58which consists
06:59for the European Union
07:00and the China
07:01to develop
07:02an agenda
07:03of cross investment
07:04and of partenariats
07:05to benefit
07:06of these two regions.
07:07And I propose
07:08to my colleagues
07:10from this perspective
07:12perspective
07:13of a way of re-equilibrium
07:14to actualize
07:15our triptych
07:17the triptych
07:18that we had defined
07:20in 2019
07:21which is a triptych
07:22of a constat
07:23to define the relationship
07:24between the European Union
07:25and the China
07:26that we are
07:27both concurrents
07:28partners
07:29and rival system
07:30to pass
07:31from a triptych
07:32of a constat
07:33to a triptych
07:34of action.
07:35And the action
07:36it is in three words
07:37it is to risk
07:38it is to dialogue
07:39and to dissuade
07:40to reduce the competition
07:41of the interior
07:42of the European Union
07:43to expand the competitiveness
07:44of the European Union
07:45to try to re-industrialize
07:47the Europe
07:48to be less independent
07:49of the importations
07:51and to be more autonomous
07:54on the plane
07:55to be more autonomous
07:56by now
07:57to establish
07:58the partnerships
07:59and with the China
08:00and to be more
08:01independent
08:02of the China
08:03and to be more
08:04independent
08:05and be more independent
08:06of the European Union
08:08in a new way, protecting by rights of 100% a sector that was threatened
08:14by extinction in Europe, which is that of the aluminum fondue,
08:17with a decision which was taken by the Europeans and which I thank you.
08:22I am now at Haïti in me rejoice with the proposals that have been made by France
08:27of sanctioning four political figures responsible
08:31to support political, financial, to gangs who today menace the stability of the country and region
08:40and are today adopted.
08:42It is the 3rd time we take sanctions against the victims of violence today in Haïti.
08:48It is essential to continue to exercise this pressure
08:53because we cannot stop the look of the tragedy that is happening today in Haïti.
08:59And then I also rejoice in the debate that will be held today
09:03at the European Parliament on the narcotrafic
09:05in the presence of the family of Médic et Sassi,
09:08who has been assassinated in a few weeks in our country.
09:11It will be the opportunity to manifest, not only French but European,
09:16to eradicate at the root of the criminal justice and the narcotrafic.
09:22In the case of the offensive menée by the President of the Republic,
09:25the Prime Minister and the Government,
09:27we have presented, during the last meeting of the European Union,
09:31a project of European sanctions regime
09:34against the criminal justice and the narcotrafic
09:38to target the criminals who are refugees abroad
09:41and who are responsible for drug trafficking,
09:44human trafficking or human trafficking.
09:46I have noticed the support of a large number of countries
09:51and the high representatives.
09:52And we can hope to have this new pressure pressure
09:55against these criminals in the first months of the next year.
10:00Minute-destruction.
10:02Minute-struction.
10:03Minute-struction.
10:05Jesus, Pence.
