Canada bans oil imports from Russia

According to Reuters, Canada also announced along with other Western countries that it would provide anti-tank weapons to Ukraine.

Justin Trudeau told reporters on Monday that Canada would provide Ukraine with anti-tank weapons and upgraded weapons to support it in countering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

He reiterated his country’s support for Ukraine and said he would continue to support the Kiev government.

Trudeau threatened Russia, adding: “We declare our determination to boycott all imports of crude oil from Russia; Because oil is an industry that is widely benefited by President Vladimir Putin and members of the Russian government.

“We will increase military aid to Ukraine and provide 100 anti-tank weapons to Carl Gastav and 2,000 missiles to the Kiev government, and we will work to ensure that these weapons are provided to them as soon as possible,” said Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand. .

Six days ago, after the United States and the European Union imposed sanctions on Russia, Trudeau said that Ottawa had imposed economic sanctions on Moscow.

Trudeau announced the first round of economic sanctions against Russia last Tuesday after Moscow recognized the Donetsk and Luhansk republics in the Canadian Parliament.

With the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, Western countries have begun sending weapons and ammunition to Ukraine.

EU foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell said on Monday that he would send 450 million euros in weapons, including military aircraft, to Ukraine, and 50 million euros in supplies such as fuel and supplies.

German Chancellor Olaf Schultz announced last Saturday that Berlin would supply Ukraine with 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger surface-to-air missiles.

Belgium also announced that it would deliver 3,800 tons of fuel and 2,000 machine guns to the Ukrainian army.

Western media also reported that European aid from the Czech Republic and the Netherlands had been sent to Ukraine.

According to the report, the Netherlands will send 200 Stinger air defense missiles to Ukraine.

Czech media also reported that the Chinese government had agreed to send $ 8.6 million worth of ammunition and weapons to Ukraine.

In contrast, the Russian Defense Ministry on Monday warned Western countries against sending weapons to Ukraine, which has increased in recent days.
