Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau has said that since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 24th, over 700 individuals and entities sanctioned as 33 in Russian defence sector got their shares for complicating the war.
Trudeau made this known while reacting to the sanction on his social media platform on Monday when the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mélanie Joly announced it under the Special Economic Measures Regulations in response to the Russian regime’s illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine.
According to the Minister, "These new measures impose restrictions on 33 entities in the Russian defence sector for providing indirect or direct support to the Russian military and are therefore complicit in the pain and suffering stemming from Vladimir Putin’s senseless war in Ukraine.
"As the world reacts to the horrific events in Bucha and across Ukraine, these measures serve as a reminder that Canada will be a leader in holding Vladimir Putin and his enablers accountable for their egregious, illegal and unjustifiable actions".
She said Canada will use every tool at its disposal to ensure that violations of international law in Ukraine are fully investigated.
"Canada will continues to monitor the situation, coordinate actions with its international partners and explore options for new measures to respond to the Russian regime’s unjustifiable acts".
The Minister noted that today’s measures are the latest example of unwavering support for Ukraine and its people. "We will continue to support the brave men and women fighting for their freedom, and we demand that those responsible for atrocities be held accountable.”
