CANADA ANNOUNCES NEW SANCTIONS AGAINST  RUSSIAN INDIVIDUALS

Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: Canada announced a further round of sanctions against Russia on Monday following a meeting between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his counterparts from Britain and the Netherlands.

Another 10 individuals have been added to the sanctions list. Their names were suggested by Alexei Navalny, the jailed Russian opposition leader and activist.

"These sanctions put increased pressure on Russia's leadership, including Putin's inner circle," said Trudeau.

Still noticeably absent from the sanctions list released Monday is billionaire Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich. He is a confidante of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has extensive business holdings in Western Canada
