OTTAWA—Britain’s envoy to Canada says the two countries are co-operating on a tough new set of sanctions against Russia if it invades Ukraine.

Susannah Goshko, the British High Commissioner to Canada, said her country’s passage of new sanctions legislation on Thursday will strengthen its ability to target individuals close to President Vladimir Putin if Russian forces put one toe over the Ukraine border.
