Canadian Foreign Ministry calls for maintaining sanctions on Russia
Canadian Foreign Minister Stéphane Dion urged all countries that imposed sanctions against Russia because of its actions against Ukraine to be firm in this matter, and stated that Canada would not ease the sanctions as long as Moscow keeps its current position.
He stated this at a press conference in Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, according to Reuters.
“Russia’s behavior in Ukraine and Syria is problematic, to say the least. That is why it is important to be very frank in our relations with Russia,” he said.
“As for Ukraine, there are sanctions that are existing and Canada is insisting that all countries must be very adamant about these sanctions,” Dion added.
