Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal government would try to confiscate a Russian-registered An-124 cargo plane. The prime minister also announced new personal sanctions and financial support for Ukraine.
The aircraft landed in February 2022 at Toronto Pearson Airport. According to Trudeau, Canada will try to transfer the aircraft to Ukraine.
According to Kommersant, a transport plane arrived in Toronto on February 27, 2022 with a cargo of covid tests from China even before air restrictions. As a result, the board was delayed, and the crew was placed in a hotel. The crew later returned to Russia.
In turn, Russian Ambassador to Ottawa Oleg Stepanov told TASS that the decision of the Canadian Prime Minister to confiscate the Russian An-124 and transfer it to Ukraine is illegal and is a common theft.
The Canadian prime minister also announced additional sanctions against 24 individuals and 17 legal entities for alleged support of the CBO. At the same time, specific names and names of organizations are not given.
