Canadian authorities announced a ban on entry into the country for about a thousand Russians

“We have just announced an entry ban for about a thousand Russians, including (Russian President Vladimir. -

) Putin and members of his entourage,” Mendicino wrote on Twitter.

According to him, these persons are already included in the Canadian sanctions lists.

Earlier it became known that the Canadian authorities are imposing sanctions on another 40 individuals from Russia, including businessmen and people associated with the defense sector, and five Russian organizations for "indirect or direct support" of the Russian military.

In turn, the Russian Foreign Ministry published a list of names of 592 Canadian citizens who are banned from entering Russia on a permanent basis.
