The White House is weighing new sanctions against lawmakers in the upper-chamber of the Russian parliament, as the United States seeks to increase financial pressure on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

The potential U.S. sanctions on members of Russia’s Federation Council — also known as the country’s senate — would represent just the latest measure of at least a half-dozen major actions already taken by the White House to harm Russia’s financial elite and its economy more broadly over the assault on Ukraine.

The European Union on Wednesday moved to impose financial penalties on approximately 150 members of the Federation Council who voted to ratify Russian President Vladimir Putin’s authorization of military force in the Donetsk and Luhansk sections of eastern Ukraine.

The U.S. could target a similar list as the one sanctioned by the E.U., according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a matter not yet made public. The people stressed that no final decisions have been made on the matter and that the sanctions are not imminent.
