Canada on Monday announced new sanctions against 10 notable Russian individuals, accusing them of being "complicit in this unjustified invasion" of Ukraine, Reuters reported.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement at a press conference in London, adding that the list "includes former and current senior government officials, oligarchs, and supporters of the Russian leadership. The names of these individuals come from a list compiled by jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny."
As CNN reported, Trudeau said the move will put "increased pressure" on Russian President Vladimir Putin's allies. A spokesperson for the prime minister told Politico the list includes figures such as Dmitry Patrushev, Mikhail Murashko, Margarita Simonyan, and Pavel Krasheninnikov.
