Canada, US respond to Putin’s ‘political theatre’ with even more Russian sanctions
Vladimir Putin’s claim to parts of Ukraine is little more than “political theatre” with “no legitimacy,” Canada and the United States declared Friday, and should have no impact on how best to deploy military aid from the West.
“Our support to Ukraine will continue, and that support can be used as Ukraine sees fit throughout the country to defend its territory and, as necessary, to take it back.” Those sanctions came as the U.S. and the U.K. also announced fresh rounds of sanctions: Britain’s measures included freezing the assets of Russia’s central bank governor, while the U.S. added 900 individuals and 57 companies to its various blacklists.
The apparent bombings this week in the Baltic Sea that ruptured the twin Nord Stream pipelines between Russia and Germany will have little immediate impact, he added: one has been idled for weeks as a result of the war, while the other has yet to even come online. Joly said Canada, too, has increased its energy production in response to the crisis, and she pointed to longer-term solutions as well, including a new $18-billion LNG export terminal under construction near the B.C. coast, expected to be operational in 2025, as well as a new hydrogen facility in Newfoundland.“We want to be there in the middle-term, and we want to be there in the long-term.
