More than 500 days after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the embattled country’s political leaders say they expect Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to be in their corner at next week’s NATO summit.
Some of NATO's 31 member states are reluctant to let Ukraine in because they're afraid of further aggravating tensions with Russia.
And this is where Ukrainian MPs are counting on Trudeau and Canada to step up and play a pivotal role. Hungary is one of the NATO countries with doubts about admitting Ukraine. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán last week rejected the European Commission's plan to grant more money to Ukraine. He went further in an interview with a German publication.
Senior Canadian government officials, speaking on background Friday, said Canada is among those in favour of dropping the preliminary step.
