Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing allies to allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons supplied by the West to strike targets within Russia, arguing that current restrictions are hindering Ukraine's ability to win the war. Trudeau’s call comes amid growing pressure from allies who believe easing the restrictions would help Ukraine achieve a decisive victory and force Russia into peace talks.
Ukraine has long been pushing for permission to strike targets deep within Russia with the weapons supplied largely by the U.S., Britain and other allies, despite U.S. President Joe Biden’s concern about provoking Moscow into further escalating the nearly three-year war.
“That’s why Canada and so many others are so unequivocal about ensuring that Ukraine has the tools to defend itself against this illegal invasion, including diminishing Russia’s capacity to launch further attacks into Ukraine.”that Ukraine should be allowed to strike within Russian territory with western-supplied weapons, a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that lifting the long-range weapons restrictions would draw NATO into a direct war with Moscow.
“We need to stay strong on Ukraine and on international law, because it’s not just the future of Ukraine that is at play here, it is the future of all democracies,” Trudeau said.Conservatives have said their vote against the Ukraine trade agreement was based on wording in the text that emphasized Ukrainian support for “carbon pricing.” Ukraine has had a price on carbon emissions since 2012.
