Canada imposes new sanctions on Russia, as Carney urges Ukraine -national support

Canada imposed on Tuesday the imposition of new sanctions on hundreds Russian Individuals, entities and ships in the “Shadow Fleet” in Moscow, where the federal government confirmed its support Ukraine.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the sanctions package alongside Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski before a meeting on the sidelines G7 Summit In Alberta, along with billions of dollars in what he said it was “additional military aid” for Ukraine.

“This stresses the importance of standing in complete solidarity with Ukraine, with the Ukrainian people, and we conducted a discussion last night between the leaders of the Group of Seven … We stressed the importance of using the utmost pressure against Russia, which refused to come to the table” to stop the shooting negotiations.

In a statement, Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand said that the new sanctions target 77 individuals and 39 entities involved in financing the war effort of Russia or who benefited from the war, as well as those involved in developing quantum technologies for the Russian army.

Also, the additional 201 ships participating in the movement of weapons, oil, natural gas and other commodities will face sanctions, which reaches the total number of more than 300.

Canada will also impose new restrictions on export on chemical and biological weapons production, industrial goods and other sensitive techniques, as well as restrictions on coal, minerals and other imports “through which Russia acquires revenues,” the government statement said.

Anand said that the sanctions package was the largest in Canada ever for ships and trade and one of the most important since Russia’s first invasion in Ukraine in 2022.

“Shadow Fleet” was created in Russia, consisting of hundreds of ships, in 2022 after Western allies imposed a price of price and sanctions on Russian oil. Ships evade penalties through hidden ownership, but are still run by Moscow.

The Prime Minister’s Office in Readings on Carney’s meeting with Zelinski said that Canada will also provide Ukraine “an additional billion dollars in the new military support for Ukraine, with funding for drones, ammunition, and armored vehicles, among other capabilities.”

Carney said before the meeting that helicopters will also be offered through the aid package.

PMO did not respond immediately when he was asked to clarify if $ 2 billion is a new financing. Ottawa has already said that $ 4.5 billion of military aid has already committed by Ottawa since 2022 aims to finance equipment delivery to Ukraine until 2029.

Carney said Canada will also provide $ 2.3 billion loans to Ukraine to help pay the price of rebuilding the infrastructure destroyed by Russia’s invasion of Russia.

This funding is part of a total contribution of $ 5 billion by Canada to a $ 50 billion loan program approved by G7 last year, which will be paid for revenues of frozen Russian assets.

“Thank you for your military package,” Zelinski said to Carne before their meeting. “It is important for our soldiers to be strong in the battlefield, and staying strong, so that Russia is ready for peace negotiations.

“We are ready for peace negotiations, and an unconditional shooting. I think it is very important, but for this we need to pressure.”

Group 7 leaders – US President Donald Trump, who left on Monday late from Washington to deal with the growing conflict between Israel and Iran – was deficient in a working session alongside Zelinski on Tuesday to discuss the war in Ukraine.

Trump was pushing Russia and Ukraine to hold a 30 -day ceasefire and ending a war for more than three years. Russian President Vladimir Putin did not show any willingness to agree to the ceasefire, and his forces continued to attack Ukraine.

Zelenskyy said: Kiev was bombed overnight with 32 missiles and more than 440 drones.

Ukrainian officials later said the attack had killed at least 16 people and wounded 134 people.

“It is a great tragedy for us and we need support from our allies,” he said.

The PMO reading said that Canada’s call for a 30 -day ceasefire in Ukraine and confirmed Canada’s support for Ukraine.

“To be completely clear: the support will be fixed until we get a just peace for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” the Prime Minister told reporters.

The UK announced its Russian sanctions package earlier on Tuesday. It included six entities, 20 “Shadow Fleet”, and two UK residents accused of sending advanced electronics to Moscow.

Ursula von der Lin, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Lin, said the European Union is considering new sanctions.

Trump, however, left Canada without agreeing to additional US sanctions on Russia. He did not meet with Zelinski while he was in Canada, although the Ukrainian president said he was hoping to hold a meeting.

Trump said on Monday that the eight -time group was wrong in expelling Russia after he ordered Putin to occupy the Crimea in 2014, a statement obtained from the Kremlin.
