Canada among leaders in number and quality of sanctions decisions — Vlasiuk

Canada is among the leaders in terms of both the quality and quantity of sanctions decisions it is working on.

Canada among leaders in number and quality of sanctions decisions — Vlasiuk

Presidential Commissioner for Sanctions Policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk stated during a televised interview that Canada has been a leader in sanctions decisions over the past year, along with the United Kingdom. Both countries have demonstrated both a high number and quality of sanctions decisions. Vlasiuk is confident that Canada will continue to implement more sanctions decisions against Russia.

Many of the measures included in Canada's sanctions have resulted from direct negotiations with Ukrainian authorities, with Ukraine identifying priorities and providing relevant evidence. Vlasiuk also highlighted that Canada, along with New Zealand and Australia, are active members of the 40-country sanctions coalition against Russia.

While New Zealand and Australia may not always be in the media spotlight due to geographic reasons, Vlasiuk emphasized their significant contributions to imposing sanctions, particularly those sensitive to Russia. Recently, Canada imposed sanctions on a UAE-based weapons manufacturer that supplied military equipment to Russia.
