Canada is imposing sanctions against 15 Russian officials.

The new sanctions were announced on the eve of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's expected virtual appearance before the Canadian Parliament.

"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," Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said.

"Canada will not hesitate to take further action should the Russian leadership fail to change course," Joly said in a statement.
