Russia says ties with Canada on verge of being ‘severed’ over cargo plane
In February 2022, Canada banned Russian aircraft from flying in Canadian airspace, effectively grounding the plane and forcing it to remain grounded. It had landed in Canada to deliver a shipment of COVID-19 antigen tests.
The plane is owned by a subsidiary of Volga-Dnepr Airlines LLC and Volga-Dnepr Group, Canada believes. Both entities recently had sanctions imposed against them as part of Canada’s response to the war in Ukraine. “We’re going to do it as quickly as possible, but I can tell you that Ukrainians are very pleased that the path has started,” he said.
