“For 7 consecutive years, Russia has systematically ignored calls from the international community to end its violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and international law. The people of Ukraine deserve a better future, one that they can build themselves, free of interference by Russia. That is why we are taking action today, and we stand ready to take further measures with our allies and partners as required,” Marc Garneau, the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated.
