The ministry also said that Russia’s “stop list” would continue to expand in the near future.
“The Russian side will continue the principle line, which implies a resolute resistance to Russophobic actions by official Ottawa, including the supply of weapons and assistance in sending mercenaries to Ukraine,” the ministry said in a statement.
“In this regard, we warn Canadian curators of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and national battalions of responsibility for war crimes committed by their wards. The perpetrators will definitely be punished. “
