Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek is one of 43 Canadians who were Monday added to Russia's sanctions list.
Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek is sanctioned by the Russian government, according to a statement posted by the Russian Foreign Ministry. Gondek was one of 43 Canadians added to the list Monday morning.
Making the list, however, didn’t seem to upset Gondek in the slightest — she said she’s “not bothered at all.”
“I made the list. I’m number 27 on this list of who can’t go to Russia,” Gondek said during a press conference on Monday afternoon. “Congratulations to me.”
It follows 61 Canadians who were sanctioned back in April. Those on the list are permanently blocked from entering Russia, which is at war with Ukraine.
