The Russian Foreign Ministry Statement on the publication of the names of Canadian citizens added to the #stoplist
In connection with the requests the Foreign Ministry has been receiving from Canadian politicians and public figures interested in Russia’s response to the unprecedented personal sanctions imposed by Ottawa against Russian citizens, the Russian Foreign Ministry has published a list of names of Canadian citizens who are permanently prohibited from entering the Russian Federation on its official website.
Full list of names
We emphasise that on the Russian side, sanctions of this kind are being imposed involuntarily and
solely in response to the hostile actions by the Canadian leadership.
Russia is striving for mutually respectful and neighbourly relations with the Canadian people, calling on the authorities in Ottawa to abandon the Russophobic policy that limits the country’s independence in foreign policy and runs contrary to its national interests.
