June 16 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced new sanctions targeting Russia’s shadow fleet, energy revenues, its defense-industrial sector and entities linked to disinformation efforts, the Canadian government said in a statement following his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy alongside the G7 in France.
A statement from the Canadian government on Tuesday also included the New Zealand company Maritime Mutual, the subject of a Reuters special report on how it helped facilitate the trade of tens of billions of dollars of Iranian and Russian oil, in a list of companies and individuals sanctioned.
In February, Britain sanctioned the company, saying it had supported the Russian government by carrying out business in a sector of strategic importance.
