WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The Canadian government should continue to press its allies to maintain or even strengthen sanctions against Russia imposed over the crisis in Ukraine, Canada’s Foreign Minister Stephane Dion said at the Canada in Global Affairs Conference on Tuesday.
"The sanctions imposed on Russia in retaliation of its aggression against Ukraine, are effective only because they are being imposed by a large number of countries," Dion stated. "Canada must continue to require that these collective sanctions be maintained or even strengthened."
