Brussels:

The European Union agreed Tuesday to add 146 members of Russia’s upper house of parliament and 14 Kremlin-linked oligarchs and relatives to its sanctions list over Moscow’s war in Ukraine, officials said. 

“We are further tightening the net of sanctions responding to Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine,” European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen wrote in a tweet.
