Canada sanctions 62 Russian targets over Ukraine

Canada announced additional sanctions against Russia on Monday over the war in Ukraine, listing 38 entities and 24 individuals.

Canada’s foreign ministry said the measures were intended to reduce Russia’s military capabilities by targeting parts of its defence industrial base, including actors involved in ballistic missile technology development and Russia’s cyber activities.

Foreign Minister Anita Anand was attending a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Paris when the sanctions were announced.
