Conflict in Ukraine: Canada imposes a series of economic sanctions against Russia

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday a series of economic sanctions against Russia until the territorial integrity of Ukraine is restored.

 

Canada will, among other things, prohibit Canadians from engaging in any foreign transactions with the pro-Russian separatist territories of Lugansk and Donetsk, impose sanctions on Russian parliamentarians who voted in favor of the illegal decision to recognize these territories and prohibit Canadians from participating in purchases of Russian debt, he said at a press briefing, following announcements of sanctions by Europe and the United States.
