Ottawa has asked the International Criminal Court to speed up its investigation into Russia for possible war crimes and announced Canada is closing its ports to Russian ships.
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says petitioning the court is important for Canada to show that it is steadfast in its support of Ukraine.
The ban on Russian-owned or registered ships and fishing vessels in Canadian ports and internal waters will take effect later this week and is in co-ordination with G-7 partners and other countries.
More than 100 diplomats from some 40 countries and allies on Tuesday walked out of speeches by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to two top United Nations sessions.
