Government of Canada has imposed sanctions on 203 individual complicit in attempted annexation of certain areas of Ukraine with ongoing war.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mélanie Joly announced on Wednesday that Canada is imposing new sanctions under the Special Economic Measures (Ukraine) Regulations in response to President Putin’s illegal, unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine.
While these new measures restricted on 11 senior officials and 192 other members of the People’s Councils of the so-called Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics who are complicit in the Russian regime’s ongoing violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Canada's Government stated that Russian regime’s attempted annexation of certain areas of Donbass is a blatant violation of international law, as the measures apply further pressure on Russian President and those complicit in the horrific events occurring in Ukraine.
The Minister said, "Canada will not stand idly by and watch President Putin and his accomplices attempt to redraw the borders of Ukraine with impunity. International law must be respected.
"Canada is using every tool at its disposal to ensure that the rules-based international order is upheld and that those complicit in violations of international law answer for their crimes.”
While Canadian Government reiterated its call for the immediate withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukrainian soil.
Canada will coordinate further actions with its partners in the international community and will continue to hold President Putin and his accomplices accountable for this senseless war
