The Canadian Prime Minister's website says that seven people and 50 defense enterprises associated with the Russian defense industry, "including the production of tanks, missiles and other weapons systems that Russia uses in Ukraine," fell under the restrictions. In addition, Ottawa banned the export to Russia of a number of chemical elements that are used in electronics, and imposed a ban on the import of Russian weapons and ammunition.
Russian Ambassador to CANADA Oleg Stepanov called the sanctions "meaningless". “They have never worked against Russia, they cannot influence our sovereign foreign policy or domestic relations,” the diplomatic mission said on Twitter. The Russian authorities consider Western sanctions illegitimate, "crazy and thoughtless." The Kremlin has also previously insisted that restrictive measures have never forced any countries to change their policies.
