Canada imposing additional sanctions against Russia

 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that his country is introducing new anti-Russian sanctions which target six individuals and 46 entities connected to the Russian defense industry, the Canadian government said on its website.

"These new actions, which build on the government of Canada's already extensive sanctions regime, include: imposing restrictions on six individuals and 46 entities linked to the Russian defense sectors," the government said.

It also said that the sanctions target 15 Ukrainian individuals supporting Russia's actions and 13 individuals and two entities in Belarus.

Canada will take additional measures to ban the export of certain advanced technologies that could "improve Russia's domestic defense manufacturing capability", including quantum computers and advanced manufacturing equipment, Trudeau said.

Canada has also banned the export of advanced technologies and goods that could be used in the manufacturing of weapons to Belarus, as well as the import and export of a broad range of luxury goods.

Furthermore, in coordination with the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan, Canada intends to impose a ban on the import of certain gold goods from Russia.
