Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his country will continue to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression and defend the rules-based world order.
He said this in a video message.
Trudeau’s main statements:
- Canada and its allies are united in their support of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and their opposition to Vladimir Putin.
- Russia is violating the international rules-based order, and this is illegal, immoral and unjust.
- Ukrainians are fighting not only for their country, but also for global security.
“I look forward to meeting with my European partners to discuss how we will continue to defend Ukraine and the order that keeps us all safe,” Trudeau said.
Why is this important?
Trudeau stressed that over the past 80 years, the world has remained stable thanks to international rules, which Russia has deliberately violated by invading neighbouring countries.
In the coming hours, Trudeau will hold talks with European partners on further steps to support Ukraine.
