“This is not going to end soon,” retired General Rick Hillier told Joyce Napier on CTV News Channel’s Power Play Monday.
“The war is entering a different phase now,” he said. “We should settle in for that long-term slugfest,” he told Napier.Hillier told Power Play that Canada can provide help to Ukraine for both the short and long term. He suggested Canada bring Ukrainian troops into Europe or Canada for training on patriot missiles.
