“In response to the next anti-Russian sanctions announced by the Canadian authorities, which affected not only representatives of the leadership, military and business circles, but in some cases the closest relatives of those who became involved in the black list, entry into RUSSIA is permanently closed for a similar category of Canadian citizens,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

The ministry added that new countermeasures would soon be introduced as part of a response to the hostile actions of "the Trudeau regime ruling in CANADA, which has adopted militant Russophobia."

In addition to Sophie Trudeau, the sanctions list includes the spouse of Deputy Prime Minister of Canada Christie Freeland Graham Bowley and partner of Foreign Minister Melanie Joly Felix Marcel. Freeland and Joly have been under Russian sanctions since late April, as has Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Moscow's April sanctions list included 592 Canadians.

The restrictions also affected the leadership of the Canadian armed forces: entry into Russia is closed to the commanders of the ground forces - Joslin Paul, the Air Force - Eric Kenny and the Navy - Angus Topshi. The president of the Canadian-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce, member of the board of directors of the World Congress of Ukrainians Zenon Potichny and the HEAD of the Canadian charitable organization Help us help, former member of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ontario Marie Buntrogiani were also subject to sanctions.
