Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada announcing additional sanctions
March 17, 2014
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Stephen Harper today issued the following statement
announcing further economic sanctions and additional travel bans against
Ukrainian and Russian officials:
Today, our Government is announcing additional sanctions that will serve to
further isolate Russia from the international community.
Targeted sanctions through regulations under the Special Economic Measures
Act build on sanctions already in place, and are being imposed against
senior Russian officials as well as additional Ukrainian officials. The
individuals targeted are responsible for undermining the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Ukraine and for facilitating Russian military
action against Ukraine.
The travel bans will serve to restrict senior Ukrainian and Russian
officials responsible for the crisis from travelling to Canada.
These measures demonstrate that Canada will not stand by while Russia
violates Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity, and that Russias
actions will have consequences.
In the days ahead we will continue to work with our G-7 partners and other
allies on measures to further pressure Russia to de-escalate by withdrawing
its troops to their bases.
