Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Kyiv together with other western political leaders on Monday to celebrate the third anniversary of Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine in Russia.
It is an important symbolic moment and comes less than a week after the public attacks by US President Donald Trump to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whom Trump released as a “dictator”.
At a press conference on Sunday, Zelenskyy said that the prime minister would be one of 13 foreign guides who would take part in peace and security for Ukraine at a summit, and he hoped that Trudeau about “What happens with the relationship with the USA” would
Trudeau opened the summit, which gives the Ukraine 25-light vehicles and provided the country the first payment of the 5 billion dollar funds from confiscated Russian assets. Trudeau also said that Canada will deliver two armored combat vehicles with which the Ukrainian armed forces will train in Germany shortly.
The prime minister also said that Canada will grant a scholarship to help Ukraine with energy security if Russia attacks the country’s power network.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who spoke in Kyiv on the 3rd anniversary of the full invasion of Russia in Kyiv, called Russia’s unjustified, brutal war war and promised more help and equipment for the struggle of Ukraine.
Trudeau and other leaders spoke at the opening of the summit, who, despite an audible air defense siren, continued despite an auditing that rang in the background. His comments have not touched the possible membership of Ukraine in the NATO military alliance, which other leaders demanded on the current summit.
Trudeau spoke directly to Zelenskyy and praised the “remarkable personal courage, the resilience and the determination of the Ukrainian president”.
“They continue to inspire me and tens of millions of my fellow citizens at home in Canada,” he said.
Washington and Moscow met to discuss how the war can be ended – a first round of discussions that took place without Ukraine at the table and about the heads of European allies, from which Trump expects the burden of a possible military military shoulder.
Trump ended the war in Ukraine to one of his signature campaign last year to win the White House back – and claimed that he could end bloodshed in one day. The performance was released by Ukraine, Western allies and Russia themselves.
French President Emmanuel Macron will meet Trump in the White House on Monday. The British Prime Minister Keir Starrer should meet Trump on Thursday.
The US President suggested that Ukraine were responsible for the continued war, “never had started” and that bloodshed with a deal with Moscow could have avoided.
Trudeau pushed back on the suggestions that Ukraine was responsible for the ignition of the conflict.
“This is not a conflict that searched for Ukraine in any way, provoked or asked,” said Trudeau. “This is a war that began for a reason and for a reason: Russia’s desire to extinguish Ukrainian history and expand its realm.”
“Russia’s actions are nothing less than a direct attack against the international rules-a arrangement, which was determined in response to the most destructive war in our collective history,” said Trudeau.
“We cannot return to an era in which the Meck does correctly. We have to do everything in our power to secure Ukraine a fair and permanent peace – a peace that cannot be achieved at the table without Ukrainians.”
Trump’s statements shocked international allies and some Republicans, including former Vice President Mike Pence, who went on social media last Wednesday to denounce his former boss.
“Mr President, Ukraine did not start this war. Russia has launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion in which hundreds of thousands of lives were requested.
Much of what Trump said last week, parrot Kremlin talk topics.
Bill Monahan, Senior Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis in Washington, DC, said Trump had spoken a lot about peace through strength in Ukraine, but it seems to be “rhetorically blooming” without real substance.
“I think briefing last week before the anniversary.
“But if we go forward and define what our goals are for the negotiations, we have to work very closely with our allies and with Ukraine to create peace through strength.”
Russian armed forces are currently checking around 20 percent of Ukraine, mainly in the east and southeast. Estimates from various western and Ukrainian secret service sources indicate that more than 800,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or seriously wounded, which has recently made war one of the most fatal conflicts for Moscow recently.
This week in question: Donald Trump disrupts the world order when he describes the democratically elected president of Ukraine as “dictator” and apparently on the side of Russia about the war. Canada’s political leaders are the right reaction to us aggression. And Justin Trudeau reveals plans for high -speed rail.
According to Zelenskyy, Zelenskyy said 46,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the start of the full invasion, and another 390,000 were wounded. Western secret services have made this estimate higher.
The United Nations estimates have cost the Russia’s invasion of more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians, and many observers wonder how long the country can hold on for longer.
“The biggest challenge with which we (in the future) face is confidence in Ukraine,” said Ben Hodges, lieutenant general of the US Army, who spoke about a panel in Washington’s center for strategic and international studies last week.
He said the Ukrainians wonder what the United States will do and what the European powers will do in view of the deal and the potential retreat in Washington.
“Will they be acted against a large deal? Or will we commit ourselves to the type of agreement?”
Sam Greene, who is also in the Center for European Political Analysis, said that these are the same questions that NATO allies refer to where negotiations go to Ukraine.
In Great Britain and possibly in France, he said, “start to see the USA as part of the problem”.
And that, said Greene, will put pressure on Europe to find its own solution for the war on the doorstep.
