The attempt by Canadian authorities to confiscate the aircraft of the Russian airline Volga-Dnepr is illegal and openly politicized, stated the Russian Ambassador to Canada, Oleg Stepanov.
According to him, after the meeting of the energy ministers of the G7 countries in Toronto on October 31, the Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anita Anand, announced her intention to transfer the aircraft to Ukraine as "compensation for damages."
Such actions are illegitimate, and Ottawa is well aware of this. The aircraft must be unconditionally returned to its owner. Then, apparently, Canada will need to compensate the owners of the aircraft - the company "Volga-Dnepr."
Stepanov emphasized that Canada has no rights to the aircraft and faces legal difficulties: despite the procedure starting at the beginning of the year, the authorities have not been able to launch a judicial process for confiscation.
The An-124 aircraft of the company "Volga-Dnepr", chartered by the Canadian government, arrived in Canada on February 27, 2022, with a cargo of COVID-19 tests from China two hours before the North American country closed its airspace to Russian aviation due to the situation in Ukraine. Despite this, the aircraft was detained, and the crew was placed in a hotel. Later, the crew flew to Russia, and the aircraft remained in Canada.
