Canada warned of consequences of Russia-related decision

Moscow will respond immediately in the event of an attack on Russian property in Canada. Russian Ambassador to Ottawa Oleg Stepanov reported this to Izvestia.

“The bill S-214 completed the Senate stage on May 26 and moved to the House of Commons for consideration. At the same time, the initiative of Russophobe deputy James Bezan C-219, which provides for the disposal of assets of sanctioned persons and structures, is being developed. In June, it passed the relevant committee of the lower house,” he said.

The ambassador warned that Russia's position regarding such attacks on property is known - such actions are illegal and will cause an immediate response from Moscow. Authorities in Ottawa should consider the possible legal, investment and reputational consequences of such decisions for Canada itself, Stepanov added.
