Canada Sanctions 100 Russian Tankers and Cyber Firms Backing Moscow’s War on Ukraine

Canada has imposed a new round of sanctions against Russia, targeting its shadow tanker fleet and entities linked to cyber infrastructure and drone development, according to the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Foreign Minister Anita Anand announced that the measures include restrictions on 100 vessels used to evade oil export sanctions, as well as 13 individuals and 11 organizations involved in Russia’s military and digital operations.

“These actions directly respond to Ukraine’s priorities and reinforce G7 efforts to increase economic pressure on Russia,” the ministry said in a statement.

The new sanctions expand Canada’s focus from traditional defense industries to Russia’s cyber and energy networks. For the first time, Ottawa has blacklisted companies supplying digital infrastructure used in hybrid operations against Ukraine.

Several liquefied natural gas (LNG) companies were also sanctioned, reflecting Moscow’s continued reliance on energy revenue to fund its invasion.

The Canadian government said the measures aim to “further raise the economic cost of Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine” by undermining its financial and military capacity.

According to the ministry, the sanctions are aligned with recent actions by the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, forming part of a broader G7 strategy to restrict Russia’s access to global markets and technologies critical for sustaining its war economy.

Foreign Minister Anand noted that continued Western unity is essential to “degrade Russia’s capacity to wage war and to support Ukraine’s defense and recovery.” The announcement comes ahead of a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Canada, where additional measures to support Ukraine are expected to be discussed.

Earlier, The Financial Times reported that Brazil—previously Russia’s top diesel buyer in Latin America—has slashed Russian imports from 60% of its total diesel intake in early 2025 to just 17% in October, due to US sanctions, shrinking Russian supply, and rising legal uncertainty.
