Canada has imposed sanctions on the defense company Streit Group, whose armored vehicles are used by the Russian National Guard in the war against Ukraine.
Canada has imposed sanctions on the defense company Streit Group, which supplied products to the Russian military-industrial complex. This was announced on 10 August by Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand.
Streit Group specializes in the production of armored vehicles and other military equipment. According to the Canadian Foreign Ministry, vehicles manufactured by the company are used by the Russian National Guard (Rosgvardiya), which is participating in the war against Ukraine.
"Canada is imposing sanctions on this company based on numerous reports confirming that the armored vehicles it manufactures are being used by Rosgvardiya," the ministry said.
The Canadian government expects the restrictions to make it more difficult for Streit Group to supply military technologies and equipment to Russia. In this way, the sanctions are intended to reduce the capabilities of the Russian war machine to continue its aggression against Ukraine.
"Canada remains steadfast in its commitment to the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and people of Ukraine," the Foreign Ministry emphasized.
The decision by Ottawa was welcomed by Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiha. He stressed that companies that assist the Russian military-industrial complex must be held accountable for their activities.
"Fueling the Russian war machine must come at a price," Sybiha said. According to him, suppliers of technologies, equipment, and components to the Russian military-industrial complex are effectively facilitating aggression against Ukraine.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that work is currently underway on a large Drone Deal with Canada.
