Sanctions against Russia
These sanctions are part of Canada's response to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. The United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and the European Union have also consistently implemented sanctions against Russia in response to its invasion.
As part of the international effort, the United Kingdom has recently introduced sanctions specifically targeting individuals associated with the Wagner Private Military Company.
Furthermore, the European Union has extended its own sanctions against Russia, initially imposed in response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. These sanctions will remain in effect for at least another six months.
