Canadian authorities have announced sanctions on 76 individuals and legal entities connected to Russia, as stated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. To maintain pressure on Russia, these new sanctions target specific individuals and entities.
Additionally, Canada is taking actions against Russia’s shadow fleet by sanctioning 109 vessels involved in the transfer of sanctioned goods, including hydrocarbons. This move aims to further restrict Russia’s activities and deter their involvement in illicit actions.
The sanctions list includes notable figures such as Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilev, Governor of the Primorsky Region Oleg Kozhemyako, and TV journalist Vladimir Pozner. It also encompasses various organizations and entities associated with the Russian government and industries.
This latest development highlights Canada’s continued efforts to combat Russian involvement in activities that go against international norms and regulations. By imposing sanctions on key individuals and entities, Canada sends a strong message against illicit actions and supports global efforts for accountability.
