The Russian Foreign Ministry on Monday barred an additional 100 Canadian citizens from entry in response to repeated anti-Russian sanctions imposed by Ottawa.

Iran PressEurope: Of the newly blacklisted are high-ranking officials, business people, and representatives of media and financial institutions involved in anti-Russian activities, the ministry said in a statement.

Now 1,005 Canadian nationals are under Russian sanctions, including a travel ban, according to a full list issued by the ministry.

"In response to the ongoing practice by the regime of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of imposing sanctions on the Russian leadership, politicians, lawmakers, business people, experts, journalists, cultural figures and everybody else whom the Canadian Russophobic government deems undesirable, entry is banned on the basis of reciprocity to 100 citizens of Canada," the statement said.

The ministry said the list includes officials, business people and activists that are involved in shaping an "aggressive anti-Russian policy."

The ministry published the names of the people that were banned from entering Russia on its website.

Since the beginning of the Russia's operation in Ukraine on February 24, Canada sanctioned more than 1,400 individuals and entities in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
