Canada imposed sanctions against Roskomnadzor and its leadership

In response to Russia's military operation in Ukraine, Canada imposed sanctions against Roskomnadzor and its leaders, the government said on its website.

The list includes the head of Roskomnadzor Andrey Lipov, his deputies Vladimir Logunov, Oleg Terlyakov, Vadim Subbotin and Milos Wagner.

On February 24, when Russia began hostilities, Roskomnadzor ordered the media to refer only to Russian official sources, and then blocked thousands of sites for "spreading false information about the actions of the Russian Armed Forces."

Canada, following Britain, imposed sanctions against Patriarch Kirill Politics

The Canadian government has included TV presenter Ekaterina Andreeva, who has been hosting the Vremya program on Channel One since 1998, on the sanctions list.

Petr Akopov, a columnist for the state agency RIA Novosti, was also sanctioned. After the outbreak of hostilities by Russia in Ukraine, he wrote the articles "Russia of the future - forward to the USSR" and "New Russia and the new world - after the victory." He called Ukraine an enemy and stated that Ukraine, as anti-Russia, should be defeated as quickly as possible.

The restrictions affected the news agency Regnum. In the 2000s, Regnum CEO Yulia Krizhanskaya was the founder of the Chukotka Foundation for Support of the United Russia Party. Modest Kolerov, one of the editors-in-chief of Regnum, before this appointment worked as the head of the Russian Presidential Department for Interregional and Cultural Relations. He is a holder of the Orders of Friendship of South Ossetia and the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, the medal "For maintaining peace in Abkhazia." The EU and the UK imposed sanctions against him in March.

Canada imposed sanctions against the former head of Yandex and Ekaterina Andreeva Politics

Russian officials, journalists, companies and banks were included in the sanctions lists of Western countries after the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine, which was condemned by representatives of 141 countries in the UN General Assembly.

On June 27, the Canadian government announced sanctions against six individuals and 46 entities associated with the Russian defense sector, against "state-sponsored disinformation and propaganda agencies and organizations controlled by high-ranking Russian government officials."

The Russian authorities have repeatedly called the sanctions illegal. In March, the Foreign Ministry banned more than 300 Canadian citizens from entering Russia, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Minister Melanie Joly and National Defense Minister Anita Anand. The list was later expanded.
