OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ukraine should be allowed to strike deep inside Russia, despite Moscow threatening that this would draw Canada and its allies into direct war.
"Canada fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry to prevent and interdict Russia's continued ability to degrade Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, and mostly to kill innocent civilians in their unjust war," Trudeau told reporters at a news conference in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Que., on Friday.
Trudeau said Ukraine can use this capacity to stop Russia's frequent strikes on hospitals and daycares across the country. Trudeau told reporters on Friday that Canada is"unequivocal" that Ukraine must win in fighting back against Russia's invasion, or it will encourage other large countries to try absorbing their neighbours. He said Putin's actions have consequences for everyone.
Yet the White House's national security communications adviser, John Kirby, said the U.S. doesn't plan to stray from its policy.
