In addition, Canada is significantly expanding sanctions against Russia.
"We are announcing sanctions against several individuals and more than 40 institutions in Russia and other countries that are helping to avoid sanctions. Restrictions are also being imposed on more than 200 ships of the "shadow fleet," the Prime Minister said.
He also announced a USD 2 billion loan to Ukraine, which will be covered by interest from frozen Russian funds. "This is our contribution. We'll work with our European and other allies to make sure they do their part, and we've made it clear that our support will remain unwavering until Ukrainians have a just peace," Carney concluded.
