Rescue workers operate at the site of an apartment building damaged by a Russian drone strike, in Dnipro, Ukraine, on Feb. 23.Canada sanctioned 10 more Russian officials and businessmen and 153 entities Friday, with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine set to pass the second-year mark this weekend.
“We stand by the people of Ukraine as they are bravely defending their rights in the face of Putin’s unjustifiable and aggressive actions,” she said. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine says it has verified that more than 10,500 Ukrainian civilians have been killed and nearly 20,000 injured in the conflict.
In a statement released Friday to mark the anniversary of the full-scale invasion, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau highlighted the ties between the two countries and the $9.7-billion Canada has committed to helping Ukraine. “They will ensure Putin pays an even steeper price for his aggression abroad and repression at home,” Mr. Biden said.
Ms. Joly did not mention Mr. Navalny in her statement Friday, but Global Affairs Canada summoned Russia’s ambassador in Canada, Oleg Stepanov, on Feb. 21, to hear Canada’s condemnation of Mr. Navalny’s death.
