Canada announced on Tuesday it will sanction 15 Russian officials who facilitated and aided President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine to apply more pressure on the Kremlin to end the war.

"President Putin made the choice to further his illegal and unjustifiable invasion, and he can also make the choice to end it by immediately ending the senseless violence and withdrawing his forces," Canada's Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said.

The announcement came ahead of President Zelensky addressing the Canadian parliament this afternoon in a virtual call.

The US Treasury also announced new sanctions against top Russian defense officials on Tuesday, including eight deputy ministers of defense and the head of Moscow's National Guard, Viktor Zolotov.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Zolotov "has cracked down on Russian citizens who have taken to the streets to protest their government's brutal campaign in Ukraine" and also is "responsible for suppressing dissent in occupied areas of" Russia's neighbor.

Washington also renewed sanctions against Belarus' Lukashenko as part of plans to punish countries and individuals supporting Russia in the Ukraine war.

The US Treasury dubbed Lukashenko, whose wife Halina Lukashenka was also sanctioned, as "the head of a corrupt government in Belarus whose patronage network benefits his inner circle and regime.

Meanwhile, Russia is imposing entry bans on US President Joe Biden, Blinken and other top officials added to a "stop list," the Kremlin said on Tuesday. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has also been named as one of the 13 on the list.

The sanction comes in response to similar restrictions imposed on Russian officials by the White House.
