Mr. Speaker, Ukraine is calling on its allies to impose sanctions immediately.
Moscow has already announced that it recognizes the independence of the Donbass territories, which is the first step toward annexing them. Ukraine is already experiencing cyber-attacks, a naval blockade, military pressure, and a disinformation campaign seeking to justify an invasion.
Last week, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said that the sanctions will come into effect on day one of an attack.
The attack has started. Will Canada fire a warning shot and immediately impose sanctions against Moscow?
