Canada is restricting the finances of another 129 people, companies and organizations over Russia’s treatment of Ukraine.

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland announced the additional sanctions today, calling the measures a response to the ongoing occupation of Crimea and the Russian arrests of Ukrainian sailors in the Black Sea last November.
