The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau has imposed sanctions against ten people with shut ties to the Russian management, together with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, and businessman Oleg Deripaska.
This development was contained in an announcement made in a joint press convention with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
Trudeau said “Today, Canada is announcing new sanctions on 10 individuals complicit in this unjustified invasion. This includes former and current senior government officials, oligarchs and supporters of the Russian leadership”
“Names of these individuals come from a list compiled by jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny. These sanctions put increased pressure on Russia’s leadership including on Putin’s inner circle. Canada has sent about a billion dollars worth of financial assistance to Ukraine”.
The PM averred that Canada will proceed to defend democracy and proceed to guarantee that Russian President Vladimir Putin is held accountable.
“The individuals include former and current senior Russian government officials, oligarchs and supporters of the Russian leadership”, Trudeau stated.
Delineating on the development, the Canadian number one citizen said he hoped the sanctions and “massive tariffs” imposed on Russian and Belarusian imports would punish “Putin where it hurts most in particular financial systems and sanctioning their central bank so far.”
