Canada is sanctioning more Russians accused of supporting the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, with a focus on banks, defence companies and the nuclear sector.
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly is announcing a dealings ban for four Russians and 29 entities, including a rifle company, a shipbuilder and atomic research institutions.
Ottawa says the intent is to nudge Russia toward upholding international nuclear-safety standards, given the unclear situation at a major nuclear plant in the Ukrainian region of Zaporizhzhia, which is occupied by Russian forces. Meanwhile, Joly says she's looking into unconfirmed reports that the leader of the Russian mercenary group Wagner had been killed in a Wednesday plane crash.
“I was just informed of these reports, and therefore we'll make sure to follow up, and we're assessing the situation,” Joly told reporters on the sidelines of a Liberal cabinet retreat in Charlottetown.
