Another round of Canadian sanctions will target Russian President Vladimir Putin along with his chief of staff and foreign minister.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also says Canada is confirming its support to remove Russia from SWIFT, a critical part of the global banking system.
He says excluding Russian banks from the system would make it even harder for Putin to ``finance his brutalities.''
Canada will also levy additional sanctions on Belarus and its leaders for helping Putin's invasion, targeting 57 individuals, in addition to existing sanctions against Alexander Lukashenko's regime for human rights violations.
