Trudeau Impose 7 Sanctions Against Russia

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has imposed sanctions on Russia over Ukraine’s declaration of independence from Donetsk and Luhansk. He imposed the first round of sanctions against Moscow on Tuesday (February 22nd), local time.

“Russia has taken up position in Ukraine illegally. It is an attack on democracy and a threat to world peace. Then they will not forget to attack more sovereign states. Expressing solidarity with friendly countries and allies, the first round of economic sanctions was imposed on Russia,” Trudeau said in a tweet following the announcement of the sanctions.
