Canada Offers Ukraine More Military Support Amid Conflict With Russia - IB Times
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicated that Canada will provide more support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, after the countries’ leaders met on the sidelines of the global climate conference in Paris. Trudeau and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko held a closed-door bilateral meeting on Sunday, CBC News reported.
Canada, which has a large Ukrainian-descended population, remains opposed to Russia’s military aggression in Ukraine, Trudeau said in a statement Sunday. His meeting with Poroshenko came on the heels of the Holodomor anniversary, commemorating the 1932 and 1933 starvation of millions of Ukrainians under the Soviet regime.
“We believe that, along with the international community, Canada can play an important part in bringing this conflict to an end. As a country, we also remain committed to helping rebuild the democratic, economic and security institutions that will help Ukraine flourish once more,” Trudeau said.
