'Putin no longer honours Russia's signature' on key accords: France
France on Tuesday accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of failing to respect his country's commitments to key international accords including the 2014 Minsk agreement seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
"President Putin no longer honours Russia's signature," Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said after announcing a unanimous decision by the EU's 27 member states to impose new sanctions on Russia following its recognition of breakaway regions in Ukraine's east.
In the past, Moscow had honoured commitments to Western powers like "the Charter of Paris (which established the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe), the 1970s-era Helsinki Final Act... on the inviolability of borders, states' sovereignty, stability in Europe," Le Drian added.
"Those were based on Russia's signature," he said.

UK unveils 'first barrage' of sanctions on Russian banks and oligarchs
Britain on Tuesday slapped sanctions on five Russian banks and three billionaires, in what Prime Minister Boris Johnson called "the first barrage" of measures in response to the Kremlin's actions in Ukraine.
Addressing the UK parliament hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into two Moscow-backed Ukrainian rebel regions, Johnson described the move as "a renewed invasion" and "pretext for a full-scale offensive".
It follows weeks of rising tensions around the crisis in Ukraine, after a massive build-up of Russian troops on its borders, and swiftly punctured Western diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation.
