Canada has imposed sanctions on 114 Russian citizens and 15 companies over the Kerch Strait incident and Crimea, the country's foreign ministry said.
"In coordination with the European Union and the United States, Canada today announced new sanctions in response to Russia's aggression in the Black Sea and the Kerch Strait, as well as the illegal annexation of Crimea. Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland announced the imposition of these sanctions on 114 individuals and 15 legal entities, under the Special Economic Measures Act," the ministry said in a statement.

"These sanctions are in response to Russia's military action against three Ukrainian vessels and the detention of their crews in the Black Sea in November 2018... Canada also imposed sanctions on a number of individuals and entities responsible for the illegal invasion, continued occupation of Crimea, and destabilization in Eastern Ukraine," the State Department added.
In November, in the Kerch Strait, Russian border guards detained Ukrainian sailors for violating the federal border.
