Canada imposes sanctions on 15 more Russian officials

Ottawa:Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau informed in a tweet that his government has imposed sanctions against 15 more Russian government officials over the country’s war with Ukraine.

These new measures impose restrictions on 15 Russian officials who enabled and supported President Putin’s choice to invade a peaceful and sovereign country.

As part of Canada’s growing list of sanctions on Russian leadership, these new measures will apply additional pressure on President Putin to reverse course.

“Canadians and Ukrainians have been friends for a long time. Tonight, I met with Ukrainian Canadians – many of whom came to hear @ZelenskyyUa’s address to Parliament. I let them know that Canada stands with Ukraine, as a friend and a partner, in its fight against authoritarianism,” Trudeau wrote.
