Canada banning crude oil imports from Russia

OTTAWA — Canada will be sending anti-tank weapons and “upgraded ammunition” to Ukraine and is banning all crude oil imports from Russia, said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Monday.

“Canada will continue to deliver support for Ukraine’s heroic defense against the Russian military,” Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa. “We are announcing our intention to ban all imports of crude oil from Russia, an industry that has benefited President Putin and his oligarchs greatly.”
