Canada Expands Russia Sanctions List, Adding 38 Entities and 24 Individuals
Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anita Anand, announced on November 9, on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Paris, France, that Canada has expanded its sanctions against Russia, adding 38 entities and 24 individuals to its restrictions list. Global Affairs Canada said the additions were made under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations and target Russia's defence industry, ballistic-missile supply chains and cyber operations.
According to Global Affairs Canada, the new measures also target financial enablers, including cryptocurrency exchanges that Canada says help sustain Russia's war economy. Anand said the measures are intended to undermine Russian President Vladimir Putin's ability to strike Ukrainian cities with missiles.
Canada has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Russia under the same regulations since 2022, covering entities and individuals in the defence, energy and financial sectors. The latest additions extend Canada's Russia sanctions further into missile technology, cyber activity and crypto financial networks.
