Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says the war in Ukraine will eventually end through diplomacy, but that Canada’s support of the country will continue in the long term, to help prevent future conflict.
As the war approaches the 18-month mark, Joly told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday that the long-term support of Ukraine by Canada and other NATO allies is critical to deterring Russia, which Joly says will remain “a very dangerous neighbour” even after the war.
Joly said it’s important to set up mechanisms so Russia does not “leave the country, rearm and reinvade” Ukraine in the future. Canada has long faced calls to increase its defence spending commitments to reach two per cent of GDP — the agreed-upon goal as part of the Wales Summit Declaration in 2014 — but the Washington Post reported in April that Trudeau privately told NATO Canada will never meet the target.also on the agenda
