In brief
Foreign Minister Anita Anand said the measures aim to weaken Russia's ability to strike Ukrainian cities with missiles and increase economic pressure.
Canada has added 38 organisations and 24 individuals to its sanctions lists over Russia's aggression against Ukraine, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing a Canadian government press release. Foreign Minister Anita Anand announced the measures on November 9.
The sanctions target Russian defence industry enterprises and entities involved in ballistic missile technology and Russian cyber activities, according to the report. Anand said Canada aimed to weaken Russia's ability to launch missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and would maintain pressure in support of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The package also targets financial instruments, including cryptocurrency exchanges described as helping sustain Russia's war economy. Increasing Russia's economic losses and curbing its missile capabilities are stated aims; RBC-Ukraine's report offered no assessment of effects already achieved. It did not provide a full list of those sanctioned or specify a separate date for the restrictions to take effect.
