Minister of National Defence Bill Blair speaks at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute conference on NORAD Modernization, in Ottawa on May 1, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin TangDefence Minister Bill Blair caught the attention of a Ukrainian general on Monday when he said allies are talking about what it will take to get to "victory for Ukraine" in the war with Russia.
Ukraine's defence attaché in D.C., Maj.-Gen. Borys Kremenetskyi, came to the microphone a few minutes later and said it was the first time he heard talk of supporting Ukraine's victory "from this political level." He also asked Blair to clarify what a Ukrainian victory means. "It's something that has been discussed a lot over the last two years, the difference between sort of helping Ukraine enough to stay in the fight, which is the implication of 'as long as it takes,' and helping Ukraine actually win," Popova said.
Canada has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine and has advocated for the country's inclusion in the NATO alliance when the conflict ends. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified Wednesday before the national public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada's electoral processes, following a day of testimony from top cabinet ministers about allegations of meddling in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
