Canada imposes sanctions on Russia’s shadow fleet, energy revenues and others

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced new sanctions targeting Russia’s shadow fleet, energy revenues, its defense-industrial sector and entities linked to disinformation efforts, the Canadian government said on Tuesday.



A government statement, issued after Carney's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy alongside the G7 summit in France, also included the New Zealand company Maritime Mutual in a list of companies and individuals sanctioned.



The company was the subject of a Reuters special report on how it helped facilitate the trade of tens of billions of dollars of Iranian and Russian oil, in a list of companies and individuals sanctioned.



In February, Britain sanctioned the company, saying it had supported the Russian government by carrying out business in a sector of strategic importance.



The Russian Foreign Ministry responded by issuing a list of 103 Canadian citizens it said were barred from entering the country, including members of parliament, government and parliamentary officials.
