Canada has announced additional anti-Russian sanctions over the Ukraine crisis, according to a document published on the Canadian government website.

"In addition, the amendments will include 351 members of the Russian State Duma who voted for the decision to recognize the independence of the so-called DNR [Donetsk People's Republic] and LNR [Luhansk People's Republic]," it said.
