Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has reaffirmed his support for Ukraine, stating that its fight against Russia’s invasion “matters to us all.” His remarks come in the wake of a heated exchange between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Trudeau wrote, “Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine. For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience.” His statement underscores Canada’s continued backing of Ukraine amid growing global debates over military aid and diplomatic support.
The comment follows Trump’s recent criticism of Zelenskyy, which sparked controversy over the future of U.S. support for Ukraine if Trump were to return to power. While many Western leaders, including Trudeau, have consistently defended Ukraine, Trump has often expressed skepticism about continued financial and military assistance to Kyiv.
Canada has been a key ally of Ukraine, providing military aid, financial support, and accepting Ukrainian refugees since the war began in 2022. Trudeau’s statement signals Canada’s unwavering commitment at a time when political shifts in the U.S. and Europe could impact the global response to the conflict.
