Canada will impose new sanctions on several individuals and businesses that contribute to Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.

Quote: "We are announcing new sanctions. Canada has sanctioned over 2,500 organisations and individuals. And today we are announcing new sanctions against 24 people and 17 organisations as part of special economic measures for Ukraine," Trudeau said.
The Prime Minister said that Canada will transfer to Ukraine the Russian An-124 transport aircraft, confiscated last year at the Toronto airport.
