The European Union was set to discuss tightening sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine Monday, after President Volodymyr Zelensky sacked his top two law enforcement officials in a major shakeup.

Brussels is expected to hold initial sanctions discussions Monday, but not make a same-day decision, according to a senior EU official.
