In response to Russia’s invasion, Canada has joined its partners and allies in imposing the strongest sanctions ever inflicted on a major economy, while also directly sanctioning President Putin and over 900 other Russian individuals and entities. Canada has also provided immediate support to Ukraine and its people, and has offered two bilateral sovereign loans to Ukraine, worth up to CA$620 million. Canada will continue to do more in the weeks and months to come.
