Trudeau unveils new Russia sanctions amid growing NATO pressure over defence spending
CTV
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau levied sanctions against dozens more Russian officials for their role in Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, but offered only vague promises in the face of growing pressure to increase Canadian defence spending. The prime minister announced the new sanctions against 160 members of the Russian Federation Council as well as a coming ban on the export of certain goods and technologies to Russia on Thursday, wrapping up a whirlwind trip to Brussels.

The prime minister instead referred back to the Liberal government's previous promises through its 2017 defence policy to invest billions of dollars in the military in the form of new equipment and personnel.
