Canada Imposes New Russian Sanctions During G7 Meeting with Zelenskyy

Canada is intensifying its pressure on Russia by imposing new sanctions, targeting 162 individuals, entities, and vessels associated with Russia's war effort. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the measures on Tuesday during a meeting at the G7 summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"We're working more closely on production of drones together and we'll discuss the next stage of that," Carney stated, emphasizing continued collaboration with Ukraine. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for Canada's support, highlighting the need for an "energy package, air defence, more patriot missiles." He stressed that Russia is not winning and urged continued efforts to end the war.

During his meeting with Zelenskyy, Carney strongly condemned Russia's recent attacks on Kyiv, including the strike on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery. This condemnation reflects Canada's firm stance against Russian aggression.

Our partners supported our messages, what we really need, energy package, we need, air defence, more patriot missiles.

Canada's commitment to Ukraine is substantial. In 2026 alone, the country has provided $2.8 billion in military assistance and imposed sanctions on more than 3,400 individuals and entities, along with 600 vessels. Earlier this year, Canada pledged an additional $270 million to help Ukraine secure critical military capabilities.

Prime Minister Carney also discussed opportunities for Canadian expertise in Ukraine's reconstruction, focusing on energy, infrastructure, and clean technology. He noted the importance of ongoing reforms to strengthen Ukraine's resilience. The meeting with Zelenskyy was part of a series of bilateral discussions Carney held at the G7 summit.
