Canada's new sanctions decision against Russia: 62 individuals and entities targeted

Canada imposed sanctions on 62 Russian individuals and entities, comprising 38 organizations and 24 people tied to Russia's defense industry, ballistic missile technologies, and cyber activities. Ottawa said the measures aim to constrain Moscow's military capacity and raise the economic cost of its war in Ukraine. The designations target a broad slice of Russia's defense-industrial base rather than a single sector. The move adds to the coordinated Western sanctions regime against Russia and signals continued alignment with allies. Watch for whether other G7 governments match the listings and for any Russian retaliatory measures.
