Canada expands sanctions against Russian individuals and entities linked to aggression
Canada introduced a new package of sanctions targeting
Russian individuals and entities, applying to 76 individuals and organizations
both inside and outside Russia that support its aggressive actions, according
to an announcement
published on the Canadian government’s website.
The new sanctions list includes TV host Vladimir Pozner,
Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilyov, and his wife. Restrictions were also imposed
on the Dialog agency and its director, Vladimir Tyutyun, the Institute for
Internet Development, the Akhmat Kadyrov Foundation, the Artek children’s
center, the Russian Copper Company, Russia’s Aerospace Forces, and the country’s
radiation, chemical, and biological defense troops.
On Feb. 24, European Union foreign ministers approved the
16th package of sanctions against Russia. According to the official text, the
sanctions target 48 individuals and 35 entities responsible for actions that
undermine or threaten Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, and
independence.
The EU restrictions also apply to 74 tankers from Russia’s
shadow fleet, which transport Russian oil in violation of sanctions.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
