Canada has imposed sanctions against the head of the Russian central bank, Elvira Nabiullina, and 13 other people close to the Russian authorities as part of a new round of sanctions, Bloomberg reports.

Earlier, only Australia imposed sanctions against the head of the Russian central bank, as well as against the Russian financial institution itself. Now Canada has done so as well.

According to unconfirmed reports, Nabiullina tried to resign after the start of the special operation in Ukraine, but President Putin wished her to remain in her post.

Also on the Canadian sanctions list is Igor Makarov, whose companies are a major shareholder in Calgary-based energy company Spartan Delta Corp.

Spartan shares fell on the news, but then trimmed losses and were trading at 12.12 Canadian dollars on the Toronto Stock Exchange, down 2.9 percent for the day.

The sanctions were announced in a press release Tuesday on the Canadian government’s website.

Thanks to capital controls in Russia and good oil and gas sales, the ruble was able to recover from a sharp drop.

Canada and its allies announced in late February and early March that they would ban all transactions with Russia’s central bank and block some Russian banks from accessing the SWIFT international payment system.
