The updated list of sanctions has been published on the website of the Canadian government, Ukrinform reports.
Canada introduced restrictive measures against Vitalii Zakharchenko, Mykola Azarov, Oleksii Azarov, Andrii Kliuiev, Serhiy Kurchenko, Viktor Pshonka, Artem Pshonka, Dmytro Tabachnyk, Raisa Bohatyriova, and Oleksandr Yakymenko.
