Ottawa will create a special team to counter Russian disinformation and propaganda, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Tuesday.
Canada is also expanding its sanctions list to include 62 more individuals as well as Russian dronemaker Concern Avtomatika in retaliation for Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Notionally intended to discuss Russia's illegal annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014, the meeting came on the eve of the six-month anniversary of Moscow's full-scale invasion of its western neighbour. Trudeau and Scholz also pushed back against Russian claims that western sanctions are responsible for rising food prices around the world, which the Canadian leader said was one reason the special disinformation team was being established.
