Trudeau heads to Europe for talks on Ukraine and Russian disinformation /via globeandmail
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is heading to Europe for talks with continental leaders about Russia’s brutal war of aggression in Ukraine, and to discuss how the West can counter Kremlin disinformation.
He condemned President Vladimir Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons and criticized Russia’s seizure in Ukraine of Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant in a firefight that caused alarm around the world. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks to reporters at a transit announcement in Mississauga, Ont., on March 4.“The thing we have so far avoided and will continue to need to avoid is to put us in a situation where NATO forces are in direct conflict with Russian soldiers. That would be a level of escalation that would be unfortunate and we need to avoid,” Mr. Trudeau said.
Mr. Trudeau touted Ottawa’s decision to unveil two immigration programs to receive Ukrainians: one for those seeking a short-term refuge from the violence in their home country, and another for those seeking to permanently immigrate to Canada.
