The Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced that Canada is imposing sanctions on Streit Group under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations.

Streit Group is a defence manufacturer that produces armoured vehicles and other military equipment. Canada is sanctioning this company following multiple credible reports confirming that armoured vehicles they manufactured have been used by the Russian National Guard (Rosgvardia), which is involved in Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine.
