Washington, June 10 – Canada’s Foreign Ministry said that Canada imposed sanctions on former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, a number of museums and authorities in Crimea, Kherson and Zaporozhye.
The list of sanctions posted on the agency’s website was supplemented by 24 individuals and 12 legal entities.
Among them are Viktor Yanukovych and his son Alexander Yanukovych, a number of officials from the new Russian regions, several museums in Crimea, Kherson, Mariupol and Melitopol, regional ministries of culture and education, some media and journalists.
The West has stepped up sanctions pressure on Russia over Ukraine, which has led to higher prices for electricity, fuel and food in Europe and the United States. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated earlier that the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and that the sanctions dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. According to him, the main goal of the West is the deterioration of the lives of millions of people. The Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that Russia will solve all the problems that the West creates for it.
