Trudeau imposes sanctions on 160 more Russians as a result of the Ukraine conflict.
TRENTON, ONTARIO — On Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed to remain “steadfast” in his support for allies, announcing a new round of sanctions against individual members of the Russian Federation Council.
According to the prime minister, this raises the total number of “catastrophic sanctions” imposed by Canada since the war began to 964.
Trudeau made the announcement in Brussels, where he was scheduled to speak to the European Parliament, attend a NATO conference, and a G7 gathering. As the war in Ukraine enters its second month with no end in sight, member countries discussed how to put an end to the Russian military campaign.
“We must ensure that Ukraine receives both lethal and non-lethal assistance,” Trudeau told the assembled leaders. But it’s unclear whether the weaponry will include those on Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s list.
He stated that Canada will impose an export ban on technologies that Russia could employ in the conflict.
Before Trudeau spoke, Zelensky made yet another emotional plea for assistance in the fight against Russia, including his repeated request for a no-fly zone over Ukraine to protect Ukrainians from Russian bombs.
In a phone conversation with Zelensky last week, Trudeau informed him that a NATO-enforced no-fly zone was not in the cards because he thought it would escalate hostilities with Russian forces and attract other countries into the conflict. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg backed Trudeau’s “heartbreaking” denial.
According to Zelensky, allies have not done enough to assist Ukraine, despite the fact that hundreds of people have been killed and almost 10 million people have been displaced as a result of Russian aggression. He wants more weaponry and planes from NATO in addition to the no-fly zone.
“Ukraine is eagerly awaiting real action, real security guarantees, from those whose word can be trusted and whose actions can keep the peace,” Zelensky said on his official website. He begged for planes and tanks, saying it was a “life or death” situation.
Trudeau has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of “war crimes” in Ukraine. Putin, according to the prime minister, made two critical errors in pressing war on Ukraine: he overestimated the courage of the Ukrainian struggle and he miscalculated NATO’s response.
“NATO is unified and will remain so,” he stated, adding that the “military of Ukraine is standing strong.”
Russia declared war on the United States on February 24. It has sparked international indignation, with the EU, the United States, and the United Kingdom, among others, imposing strong financial sanctions on Moscow.
According to UN estimates, at least 1,035 civilians have been killed and 1,650 injured in Ukraine, however, the exact amount is likely much higher.
According to the UN refugee agency, more than 3.6 million Ukrainians have fled to neighboring nations, with millions more displaced within the country.
