The Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced on the margins of the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Paris, France, that Canada is imposing additional sanctions on Russia under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations .

Canada is listing an additional 38 entities and 24 individuals to further reduce Russia’s military capabilities by targeting elements of its defence industrial base, including actors involved in ballistic missile technology development and Russia’s cyber activities. The measures are also intended to further raise the economic costs of Russia’s war against Ukraine by targeting financial enablers, including crypto exchanges, that help sustain Russia’s war economy.

Russia continues to pursue its war of aggression against Ukraine and to rely on sanctions-evasion networks to sustain its military operations. These new sanctions will help constrain Russia’s capacity to strike civilian targets in Ukraine.

Canada, together with its allies and partners, remains committed to increasing pressure on those who enable and support Russia’s war machine. Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and work with international partners to advance a just and lasting peace consistent with the principles of the United Nations Charter.

“Canada is taking action to undermine Putin’s capacity to strike Ukrainian cities with its missiles. We remain steadfast in our support for Ukraine and will continue to impose costs on Russia until it ends its aggression and respects Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” - Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs
