Among the 47 individuals the commission wants added to existing sanctions lists are Putin's cousin Anna Tsivileva, who chairs the defenders of the fatherland foundation that supports Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine.

He is targeted for allegedly orchestrating a disinformation and propaganda campaign in Ukraine.
