“Canadian sanctions against Russian journalists and artists are comparable to an attempt by the Third Reich to destroy the “non-German spirit” and drown out the voice of reason through the burning of books and the banning of periodicals,” she wrote in her Telegram.
On February 3, Canada imposed sanctions on 36 individuals and 16 legal entities from Russia.
Including restrictions introduced against artists, journalists and politicians.
Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov said that Moscow would respond to new Canadian sanctions.
