OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau supports France's decision to invite Russian officials to a D-Day commemoration, despite"extreme disagreement" with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"But that does not preclude our extreme disagreement with the endangering of people around the world, and indeed of the rules-based order that the current Russian regime is involved in." "If lines on a map can be redrawn by a neighbour with a larger army, then the period of stability that we have known since the end of World War Two would come to an end, and the prosperity and opportunity available — not just to people in Western democracies, but all around the world — would be at risk," he told a Thursday news conference.
French President Emmanuel Macron says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will attend the ceremonies as will Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden.
