According to a report by Global Affairs Canada, Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand has announced additional sanctions on Russia on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting held in Paris, France. These measures have been taken to further reduce Russia's military capabilities and increase the economic cost of the war against Ukraine.
Foreign Minister Anita Anand stated that Canada is adding 38 more entities and 24 individuals to the list under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations. The objective of these new sanctions is to target elements of Russia's defense-industrial base, including actors associated with the development of ballistic missile technology and Russia's cyber activities.
In addition, financial facilitators including crypto exchanges that help sustain Russia's war economy have also been targeted. Russia relies on sanctions-evasion networks to continue its aggressive war against Ukraine. These new sanctions will help limit Russia's ability to attack civilian targets in Ukraine.
Foreign Minister Anita Anand stated in her statement that Canada is taking action to weaken Putin's ability to strike Ukrainian cities with missiles. Canada remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine and will continue to impose economic burdens on Russia until it ends its aggression and respects Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Canada is committed to working with its allies and partners to increase pressure on those who support Russia's war machine.
Background reports from Wikipedia and government documents show that since 2014, Canada has imposed sanctions on more than 3,500 individuals and entities as well as over 700 vessels responsible for violations of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and human rights abuses. Canada will continue to work with international partners to advance a just and lasting peace in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter.
