Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced sanctions against 10 more prominent Russians Monday as he stood shoulder to shoulder with his British and Dutch counterparts and condemned Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The new sanctions came on the first stop of a four-country tour of Europe, as Trudeau meets allies from across the continent to discuss and co-ordinate the West's response to Russia's invasion.

Following a visit to a British military base near London, Trudeau joined British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Dutch leader Mark Rutte at 10 Downing Street to publicly denounce Russian President Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine.
They also unveiled more support for Kyiv and punishments on Russia, with Trudeau taking a clear jab at Putin by revealing that those targeted by Canada's latest round of sanctions had been drawn from a list compiled by the Russian leader's main rival.
"This includes former and current senior government officials, oligarchs and supporters of Russian leadership," Trudeau said during a news conference with Johnson and Rutte.
