Canada is targeting Russia's defence industry with its latest round of sanctions over Moscow's invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.
Following Russia's attack that began Feb. 24, Canada has imposed sanctions on more than 700 individuals and entities from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
"Canada has always and will always stand by Ukraine," Joly said in a statement. "Today's measures are the latest example of our unwavering support for Ukraine and its people. The Russians also kept up their siege of Mariupol, a key southern port that has been under attack and surrounded for well over a month.
In a late-night video message, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy argued that Russia's aggression "was not intended to be limited to Ukraine alone." The "entire European project is a target," he said.
