Russia Bans 333 Canadians, Including Olympians, in Retaliation

Russia has banned 333 Canadians, including retired Olympians Tessa Virtue and Hayley Wickenheiser, from entering the country. The majority of those on the list signed a letter calling for a ban on Russia and Belarus from the 2024 Paris Summer Games unless Russia withdraws from Ukraine. The sanctions are mostly symbolic, with Russia banned from hosting major sporting events and Canadian athletes having no reason to travel to the country.
