Trudeau says Canada will support Ukraine ‘as long as it takes’
“It is a fight for the integrity, sovereignty and the capacity of people everywhere to pick the path they want for their future,” he said.
Ukraine is currently warding off Russian sieges of its cities, with the sizeable southern port city of Kherson fallen to Russian forces.Trudeau will travel to Europe to discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with allies Trudeau’s comments come after he defended earlier Friday NATO’s decision to reject a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which he said would lead to an “unfortunate” escalation in the conflict.
“The thing that we have so far avoided — and will continue to need to avoid — is a situation in which NATO forces are in direct conflict with Russian soldiers,” Trudeau said.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for the no-fly zone to prevent Russian air attacks in the country.
