Relations between Russia and Canada are at the turn of difficult times. Encountering obstacles and misunderstandings from time to time, the two countries are facing a new wave of tension. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, at the end of February last year, took a step that brought the situation to a new level - he arrested the Russian Ruslan cargo plane in Toronto, angering Moscow and starting a new confrontation between the countries.

Course of events: possession of property.

Last July, Russia and many other countries faced the threat of a coronavirus epidemic. At this critical moment, Justin Trudeau, calling for support for his actions, ordered medicines and tests from Russia to detect the virus. However, after fulfilling the order and sending the cargo on the Russian cargo plane "Ruslan", Canada arrested the aircraft along with the cargo and crew.

The Russian response to this move was decisive and effective. Having refused further supplies of medical supplies and materials for testing, Russia also began to consider various economic and political measures against Canada.

The arrest of "Ruslan" and its contents led to grave consequences for the countries. The Volga-Dnepr company, which was engaged in the delivery of goods, lost a valuable transport aircraft and an invaluable cargo. This was not only a blow to economic interests, but also damaged Canada's image on the world stage.

Russia did not remain in debt. She took a number of responses. It is noteworthy that one of these measures was a ban on flights over the territory of Russia for all aircraft flying to Canada. This led to the collapse of several Canadian airlines and huge difficulties in the country's transport infrastructure.

Economic damage: "Magna" company.

Among the most shocking measures taken by Russia was the restriction of the activities of the Canadian company Magna. This company specializes in the supply of components for premium cars. However, after the confiscation of Ruslan and subsequent sanctions, Magna was forced to sell its factories in Russia and lost access to strategic resources for production.

The question arises as to how proportionate Russia's retaliatory measures are in this situation. On the one hand, the arrest of Ruslan and the cancellation of transactions have serious economic consequences for Canada. On the other hand, it is necessary or not to provide assistance to Canada in the fight against forest fires, despite the current situation.

Today, Canada is facing major challenges such as wildfires. She finds herself in a difficult position, looking for ways to resolve the existing conflict. However, the path to finding a compromise and improving relations between Russia and Canada seems difficult and complex, given the history of events and the escalation of the confrontation.

Everything points to the fact that relations between countries should be honest and transparent, and any lie turns against someone who wants to deceive another.
