Canada has been one of Ukraine’s most prominent backers during Russia’s war of aggression, imposing sanctions on hundreds of Russian officials and companies as well as wide-ranging trade embargoes.
“Due to numerous cases of discrimination against Russian citizens in Canada, including physical violence, we recommend that you refrain from traveling to that country for tourism or study purposes, and this also applies to business trips,” Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in the ministry’s announcement.
“If you have already traveled to Canada, we urge you to be vigilant, especially in public places,” Lavrov continued.
The call was also published on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ main Telegram channel on Saturday.
The Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs has not commented on the matter.
