Canada imposes fresh sanctions on Russia targeting missile tech and cyber networks
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announced the measures on Monday during a G7 meeting in Paris to limit military capabilities.
Canada has sanctioned 38 entities and 24 individuals to target Russia's ballistic missile technology, cyber activities, and financial networks, according to the Times of India and Firstpost.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announced the new measures on Monday on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Paris.
The sanctions, imposed under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations, aim to reduce Russia's capacity to conduct military operations in Ukraine and strike civilian targets.
The listings include financial enablers, such as cryptocurrency exchanges, that assist Russia in evading sanctions to fund its war economy.
Anand said Canada is acting to diminish the capacity of Putin to hit Ukrainian cities with missiles.
The Canadian government stated it will continue working with international partners to increase pressure on those supporting Russia's military and remains committed to a peace consistent with United Nations Charter principles.
