The European Union and Canada have affirmed their commitment to maintain comprehensive sanctions and export restrictions against Russia.

"We recognize the value and the growing importance of our cooperation on restrictive measures. In particular, we will continue to impose extensive sanctions targeting Russia, as well as stringent export control restrictions and prohibitions," a joint statement issued following their summit read.

According to the statement, Brussels and Ottawa will continue to support Ukraine and collaborate to address its military demands. 

It is vital that the EU and Canada, with other partners, maintain strong backing for Ukraine.

🇺🇦 needs more military assistance & economic support.

We continue to maintain pressure on Russia, also with our closely aligned sanctions.

This comes amid an increase in right-wing governments across the EU that are seeking to break off their engagements in supporting Ukraine, challenging Brussels.

Earlier this month, the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has acknowledged that the EU might not be able to meet the target of delivering 1 million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine by the end of 2023.

He also said in remarks that Russia's defeat in the near term is not expected.

"We are facing many problems. Europe is dealing with a double challenge. Firstly, it is Ukraine where Russia's defeat is not expected in the near future," Borrell said.

It is worth reminding that earlier this year, Canada caused worldwide controversy after hosting a former Nazi veteran in its Parliament. 

During this visit, Yaroslav Hunka was praised as a "hero" for his WWII combat against the Russians. The Ukrainian President was present at the time with the aim of seeking support in the Ukraine conflict.
