Canada Announces New Russia Sanctions: 38 Entities and 24 Individuals Targeted Over Missile Technology and Cyber Activities
Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand announced on November 9 in Paris, on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, that Canada is expanding its sanctions against Russia to cover 38 additional entities and 24 individuals.
In its statement, the Canadian government said the measures, imposed under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations, target actors involved in developing ballistic missile technology, Russia's cyber activities, and financial networks supporting Moscow's war economy. The measures seek to weaken Russia's defence industrial base and restrict its ability to sustain military operations in Ukraine.
Anand said Canada is taking action to undermine Russian President Vladimir Putin's capacity to strike Ukrainian cities with missiles. Ottawa said the sanctions are aimed at constraining Russia's ability to carry out strikes against civilian targets in Ukraine while increasing the economic costs of its invasion.
The announcement is part of Canada's continuing sanctions campaign over Russia's invasion of Ukraine; Canada has previously imposed thousands of sanctions measures against Russia and provided extensive support to Ukraine.
