Russia brutally attacked Ukraine last night, killing innocent civilians in residential areas and damaging the Cabinet of Ministers building. My thoughts are with the injured and everyone who is mourning their loved ones. A just and lasting peace for Ukraine will require robust and credible security guarantees. Last night's cowardly attack underscores the urgency of that mission. I was honoured to stand with President Zelenskyy in Kyiv late last month as Ukraine marked its Independence Day. As I affirmed alongside Prime Minister Svyrydenko in the same building that was damaged last night, Canada stands with Ukraine and Putin’s unrelenting aggression will never weaken our resolve. Canada is steadfast in its commitment to the Coalition of the Willing and its willingness to deploy direct and scalable military assistance in support of upholding a ceasefire and lasting peace.
