Yuliya Kovaliv, Ukraine's ambassador to Canada, held up this photo of the scene following the death of a child in a Russian Kalibr missile strike in 2022 that shows emergency crews in the background of an overturned stroller.
Ukraine's ambassador to Canada has called out the Trudeau government over a decision to grant Airbus Defence and Space a waiver that will allow the European aerospace giant to continue to use Russian titanium in the manufacture of its aircraft engines. It comes after the company vowed to find a new supplier in 2022.
Reuters first reported that Canada had granted the waiver and quoted the company as saying, "Airbus is aware of the Canadian government imposing sanctions on and has obtained the necessary authorization to secure Airbus operations in compliance with the applicable sanctions."The sanctions on Russian titanium, which because of its light weight and strength is used in the manufacturing of aircraft engines, were introduced in February.
An Airbus employee works under the wing of an Airbus A220 at the assembly plant in Mirabel, Que., Feb. 20, 2020. Other nations, such as China, Kazakhstan and Japan, have large production capacity and potential. Canada also has an abundance of the critical mineral.
