What happened
The Supreme Court of Canada declined to hear the appeal of Igor Viktorovich Makarov, who was sanctioned by Ottawa for his ties to Moscow. Ottawa has sanctioned hundreds of individuals and organizations in response to Moscow’s attack on Ukraine, prohibiting financial dealings linked to Canada. Makarov, who made billions through business activities in Russia, had sought removal from the sanctions list, but the foreign affairs minister refused.
Why it matters
Ottawa sanctioned Makarov because he brokered energy deals while benefiting from close associations with top Russian government officials. These deals generated revenues that the Kremlin has used to lay the groundwork for its foreign aggression.
