NOW LETS TALK ABOUT SANCTIONS. HOW MANY COUNTRIES HAVE IMPOSED SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA?
All NATO nations have condemned Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine and have all imposed sanctions on Russia. Canada for instance hours ago placed sanctions of some Russian and Belarus officials.
Canadian Prime minister Justin Trudeau said “Canada is imposing sanctions on 22 senior officials of Belarus’s Department of of Defence. These officials supported Putin’s attack on Ukraine and Russia’s violations of sovereignty and territorial integrity, and they would be held accountable”
Canada had earlier sanctioned Russia for invading Ukraine. The United States also did same. US President, Joe Biden called Vladimir Putin “a war criminal” hours after news circulated about Russian troops bombing a building hosting civilians.
The United Kingdom also placed heavy sanctions on Russia, abandoning Russia oil. Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson travelled to Saudi Arabia to negotiate oil supply deals with the Kingdom. If agreed, it will cut ties with Russia on the long haul.
All these sanctions caused companies to stop their operations in the country. Most of them were companies from these super powerful nations, who have imposed unbearable sanctions on Russia. And they fear they could loose their licences if they continue with normal transactions in the country. A few of them include Google, Apple, Facebook, Visa and some Airline companies. Some have also limited their operations in Russia.
What about sports
This is another big blow for Russia. FIFA, UEFA and European Premier league all issued statements weeks ago, suspending Russian national teams and clubs from all activities. This is how Putin’s actions have gravely affected his people.
