EU tightens sanctions against Russia as war in Ukraine continues

EU countries agreed on a new package of sanctions aiming to counter circumvention of existing measures by third countries and businesses.
The new sanctions prohibit transit of goods and technology through Russia that could boost its military or security sectors.
The new package freezes assets and restricts travel of 71 people and 33 groups involved in deporting Ukrainian children to Russia.
The new measures ban five Russian state media outlets from broadcasting in the EU.
The new sanctions aim to cut off access to sensitive technology and dual-use goods that could aid Russia's war effort in Ukraine.
