Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced his readiness to further strengthen sanctions against Russia, which continues its war in Ukraine. The decision was made in response to the escalating conflict and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region. Carney emphasized that Canada remains committed to its international obligations and the broader goal of holding Russia accountable for its actions.
The potential new sanctions could include restrictions on Russian financial institutions, additional asset freezes on Russian officials, and limitations on the export of certain technologies. These measures are intended to increase economic pressure on Russia and deter further aggression. Canada has already imposed a range of sanctions, including restrictions on Russian state-owned banks and financial institutions, as part of its efforts to isolate Russia economically.
