    Here’s that press release:

    Minister Anand announces sanctions against defence manufacturing company

    From: Global Affairs Canada

    News release

    August 10, 2026 – Ottawa, Ontario – Global Affairs Canada

    The Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today 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.

    With a history of supporting Russia’s military-industrial complex by supplying Russian entities with defence products, Streit Group continues to feed Russia’s war machine and the Putin regime’s unprovoked and unjustifiable war against Ukraine. The sanctions announced today will reduce Russia’s military capabilities in its war against Ukraine by disrupting and hindering Streit Group’s capacity to supply military technology and equipment to Russia. 

    Canada remains unwavering in its commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and people, who continue to defend their country and their rights in the face of Russia’s brutal aggression.

    Quick facts

    • By sanctioning Streit Group, Canada is aligning with similar measures taken by Ukraine in 2023, and by the European Union and Switzerland in 2025.
    • Since 2014, Canada has imposed sanctions on more than 3,500 individuals and entities that are complicit in the violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and in gross and systematic human rights violations.
