Russia and Canada exchange sanctions, banning hundreds of citizens.
TL;DR Summary
Russia has imposed sanctions on 333 Canadian officials and public figures, including prominent Olympians, in response to Canadian restrictions on Moscow and support for Ukraine. The list includes Canada's Governor General Mary Simon, more than 250 members of regional legislative assemblies, and scores of Canadian athletes who have publicly supported a ban on Russian athletes competing at the 2024 Olympics. The move is seen as a tit-for-tat response to Western sanctions on Russia over the invasion of Ukraine.
