One year ago, Russian forces invaded Ukraine and began an unprovoked, aggressive war to conquer its territory.
However, ending aid to Ukraine would not end the war. In fact, it would play directly into Russia’s hands. A Ukrainian victory will not be possible without the continued support of rights-respecting countries like Canada and the United States. Continued support may protract the conflict, but the alternative is a full-scale loss.
This would spell disaster not just for Ukraine but for all democratic countries around the world, including ours. This is why our continued support of Ukraine matters, and why Canada must not allow war fatigue to creep in. As Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine drags on, we risk becoming desensitized to the devastating effects of war. But helping Ukraine provides significant strategic benefits, including exposing Russia’s weaknesses. It punishes Russia for its flagrant human rights abuses, and deters other regimes, such as China, from engaging in similar acts. It is also the ethical thing to do.
