Russian Security Council

Canada has toughened sanctions against Russia following Moscow's attack on neighbouring Ukraine. Canada has sanctioned more than 900 Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian entities and individuals it says are enabling and supporting President Vladimir Putin's illegal war.

Shock and horror turned to anger on Thursday, February 24, 2022, as Canada and its allies responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with a barrage of new sanctions targeting the Russian economy and its leaders that they hoped would avert an all−out war.
