The European Union has expanded its blacklist for the Russian
Federation, including 19 physical and nine legal entities, BBC reports.
The EU believes these people are responsible for destabilizing the
situation in the east of Ukraine.
The newly sanctioned individuals include three top military officials:
Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov, Russia's First Defense
Minister, Army General Arkady Bakhin, and the head of the main
Operation Directorate of General Staff, Lieutenant General Andrey
Kartapolov.
Two members of the Russian lower house of parliament, the State Duma,
singer Iosif Kobzon and Valery Rashkin, who heads the Russian Communist
Party branch in Moscow, are also on the list. The remaining 14 people
are officials of the self-proclaimed republics in eastern Ukraine.
