The facts:

Since February 24, 2022, and in coordination with its allies, Canada has imposed sanctions on Russia that are aimed at limiting the Kremlin’s ability to finance its egregious war against Ukraine and pressure Russia to change its behaviour.

Sanctions have immobilized roughly $300 billion of Russian Central Bank assets, severely restricting its ability to manage its economy, buffer its financial system, and finance its invasion of Ukraine.

Major supply shortages caused by sanctions have forced Russia to nearly cease its production of ballistic missiles and new military aircraft.

The IMF predicts that sanctions will cause the Russian economy will contract by over 3 percent this year, which will erode its weapons manufacturing capacity for years to come.

Russia’s false claim:

The Russian economy has remained robust and adaptable in the face of Western sanctions imposed in response to Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.

The facts:

We expect this year’s Vostok exercise to be far smaller than previous ones, largely due to Russia’s considerable troop shortages caused by high losses in Ukraine. During the last Vostok exercise in 2018, Moscow reportedly sent 300,000 Russian troops to participate.

Almost all Russian Army units have been involved in combat in Ukraine. Russia has seen such high casualties across most of its Army units that it is struggling to even find untrained recruits to backfill deployed units.

Currently, Russia’s deployed forces in Ukraine are insufficient for it to achieve its stated objective of replacing the government in Kyiv, and Russia will continue to struggle to make even modest tactical progress on the eastern and southern fronts.

Russia’s false claim:

Russia claims that it is holding all of its annual military exercises as usual this year, including Vostok, which is typically a large strategic exercise in eastern Russia.

Moscow has also indicated that it is using only a part of its available forces in Ukraine, which it claims is sufficient to attain its military objectives.

The facts:

NATO is a defensive Alliance, whose purpose is to protect its Allies.

NATO has increased its military presence in the eastern part of the Alliance as a direct result of Russia’s behaviour, which reflects a pattern of aggressive actions against its neighbours.

NATO’s military presence does not pose a threat to Russia’s army of 1 million troops.

Russia’s false claim:

NATO’s enhanced military presence in the eastern part of the Alliance threatens Russia.

The facts:

Russia wouldn’t need to mobilize another 300,000 citizens if its illegal war of aggression in Ukraine was going as planned.

Over 2,400 Russian citizens have been arrested for protesting the mobilization and many others are fleeing the country.

Long lines at the border, sold-out flights, and large anti-war protests reflect the Kremlin’s growing problems at home and on the battlefield.

Russia’s false claim:

The partial mobilization will ensure the continued success of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine.

secretly attacking a nuclear power station seems like an elf move.
