ICYMI - Russia has issued fresh sanctions against 61 Canadians including provincial premiers, military personnel, political staff and journalists, over Canada’s actions against the country for its invasion of Ukraine
Russia says on its Foreign Ministry website that these individuals are all “directly involved in the development, substantiation and implementation of the Russophobic course of the ruling regime in Canada.”
At a news conference Thursday, he said the ban meant that the province and its people caught the attention of a “brutal dictator” by standing up to him, and opening their hearts and homes to Ukrainians. Several active military leaders are on the Russian list, including Maj.-Gen. Steve Boivin, commander of the special operations forces of the Canadian Armed Forces.“This does not weaken our resolve one whit from doing everything we can to stand up for Ukraine and pushing back hard against Vladimir Putin’s murderous regime,” he said at a late Thursday news conference.
“We know that a new phase of the war is starting up right now, with heavy bombardment in the east by Russia,” Trudeau said Thursday. “The Ukrainians have asked for heavy artillery and we will be delivering.”
