Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Ottawa will issue government bonds to support Ukraine.
La Presse writes about it.
The term of "Ukrainian sovereign bonds" will be five years. They will be offered to investors through Canadian banks. The money will be sent directly to Ukraine through the International Monetary Fund.
During a speech at the Canadian Congress of Ukrainians in Winnipeg, Trudeau emphasized that the war in Ukraine "must end with the defeat of Putin."
He noted that Canada introduced "the toughest sanctions ever imposed against a major economy, including the Central Bank of Russia."
- On September 30, Canada and Great Britain introduced new sanctions against Russia due to Putinʼs decision to annex the occupied territories of Ukraine.
- On October 17, Russian propagandists appeared on Canadaʼs sanctions list.
- On October 28, Canada introduced sanctions against another 35 individuals and six legal entities from Russia.
