12:15 a.m.: European Union diplomats meeting in Brussels agreed a new round of sanctions against Moscow for invading Ukraine, including a ban on importing gold from Russia and freezing the assets of the country’s top lender Sberbank, Reuters reported.

The sanctions, due to take effect on Thursday, include blacklisting more individuals and entites held responsible for the war, said the Czech Republic, which now presides over talks among the EU’s 27 nations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed them as inadequate.
