“Yesterday, we announced that we would be sending new shipments of military supplies, including body armour, helmets, gas masks and night vision goggles. Today we are announcing that we will be supplying Ukraine with anti-tank weapons systems and upgraded ammunition...Today, we are announcing our intention to ban all imports of crude oil from Russia, an industry that has benefited President Putin and his oligarchs greatly. This industry accounts for more than a third of Russia's federal budget revenues, and while Canada has imported very little amounts in recent years, this measure sends a powerful message. In addition, it ensures that those who are complicit in President Putin's atrocities cannot escape the consequences of their actions. This is why it was announced that Russia oligarchs will be prevented from using their wealth to buy citizenship abroad and avoid the consequences of sanctions.”
