Russia and Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander

Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander: Canada's Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander says Ottawa has the "potential to enact sanctions against anyone who is responsible" for further violence in Ukraine, according to CTV. "It's not in the interest of Ukraine or of Russia or of Europe or the United States to see the country split," Rice said Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press and Canada and the United States issued strong warnings to Russia on Sunday, saying any attempt to reinsert itself into Ukraines dramatic political situation would face immediate consequences. Alexander spoke to Question Period's Robert Fife, the same day that U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice said it would be a "grave mistake" for Russia to step in militarily in Ukraine.
