Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the Canadian government will be imposing more sanctions on the Russian economy “in the coming days,” intended to choke off the country’s ability to further fund its war against Ukraine.

The minister provided an update on the government’s actions to punish Russia on Tuesday afternoon following a meeting with her G7 colleagues.
