Russia on Monday barred entry to 100 Canadians in retaliation for Ottawa's exclusion of Russian citizens, the latest wave of a long series of tit-for-tat expulsions from Russia and Western countries over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the Canadians added to its sanctions list included officials, business leaders and people involved with "media and financial structures that are directly involved in the formation of an aggressive anti-Russian course".
