Prime Minister Justin Trudeau added that crude oil is a commodity that enriched Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and the Russian oligarchs surrounding him.

Canada will also send a third shipment of lethal weapons to Ukraine which would include anti-tank weapons systems and upgraded ammunition, Trudeau also announced on Feb. 28.
