Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced new sanctions Friday against Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, a major shareholder in Evraz, a British multinational manufacturing company that operates a steel mill in Regina.
As Trudeau announced the new sanctions before departing Warsaw on Friday, the Russian war on Ukraine appeared to be entering an ominous new phase.
Trudeau also said he could not rule out a Canadian airlift of Ukrainian refugees who may want to leave Europe to find a safe haven in Canada as the European continent buckles under its worst migration crisis in decades.Meanwhile, satellite imagery showed a long convoy of artillery that had been lined up near the capital of Kyiv seemed to be dispersing into nearby towns and forests.
The U.S. and other western countries were poised to follow Canada’s lead by revoking Russia’s favoured nation trading status, which will mean higher tariffs on Russian imports. The prime minister came face to face with the crisis when he spent time with more than a dozen refugees in a Warsaw hostel.
