Canada will send $5 billion in aid to Ukraine using funds from seized Russian assets, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday at a peace and security summit in Kyiv.
Trudeau made the pledge as he and a dozen other world leaders are in the Ukrainian capital to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, where support for Ukraine to end the war on its terms and with its territory intact remained strong.
“This is not a conflict Ukraine wanted, provoked or asked for in any way,” Trudeau said at the summit table.
“This is a war started for one reason and one reason only: Russia’s desire to erase Ukrainian history and expand their empire.”
[…]
“We cannot return to an era where might makes right,” Trudeau said. “We must do everything in our power to enable Ukraine to secure a just and lasting peace, a peace that cannot be achieved without Ukrainians at the table.”
How many frozen asset funds are remaining?
Trudeau has been knocking it out of the park ever since he announced his resignation
The Fuck Trudeau crowd is in shambles
…from whence they originated.
Didn’t you know that everyone who’s bad is now Trudeau? Carney? Nah that’s Trudeau in a mask! Freeland? Trudeau in a mask AND a dress.
Nah, they’re opinions were never based on fact. It was always them falling for the propaganda.
I send them my regards.
Now that Trudeau is out of the picture - who are they going to fuck now?
Us! At the voting station, when they vote for Ford
I vote for themselves.
Themselves maybe?
It’s crazy, once he stopped playing politics he became a pretty decent politician!
No longer has to worry about re-election, so he can now make the proper call on issues
He’s really good in these situations. He also knocked it out of the park during Covid.
True, but polls show he also became more popular once he stopped making blatantly political moves (Carbon Tax exception for Heating Oil, etc) and started making “the proper call on issues”. It might just be a rally-around-the-flag effect with US tariffs & 51st state stuff, but I think it’s quite the coincidence!
Not the most familiar with Canadian politics, but isn’t that because he got thrown a lot of Trump-shaped low-hanging fruits?
lol
Ukrainian troops firing at Russians with weapons purchased with money from seized Russian assets.
That’s poetry right there.
Moar!
As an addition: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the UK also announced new sanctions against Russia at the start of this week.
How much more can we realistically sanction?
Until Ukraine takes over Russia and makes it a democracy.
I think the poster you replied for meant what is there practically left to sanction?
At this point, enforcement should be use more since sanctions are getting violated, we know this but western regimes don’t want to “pester” “job creators”
Kind of amazed Oz isn’t towing more of the Trump line.
A lot of mouth breathing Canadians are going to be mad at Trudeau again!
Bravo! This is why Canada is loved by other nations.
It’s also a HUGE “fuck you” to Trump and Putin.
Slava Ukraini!
Not very art of the deal there Justin…
Don’t you want some minerals?!
Bro people actually taking your comment as serious lmaooo
Did y’all not realize this is obviously a joke?
Sarcasm can be harder to catch in text form but I thought this one was pretty obvious
We already have more minerals than we know what to do with
So do we… but First Lady Trump needs moar
We as in US? There are several critical minerals the US can only get by importing.
Yes, US.
I am pretty sure US over all has everything… maybe not lithium or cobalt but with rare earth, US could like invest in its own mines. But for some reason they refused to do that and now depend on china.
I am not an expert tho. but i don’t think it is the issue of actually having the mineral and more issue of refusing to develop local mines.
No you’re not an expert. You can’t make solar panels or fibre optic cables without germanium and the US has none. Just one of many examples
To be the devil’s advocate here:
Germanium, which is currently classified as a critical mineral in the U.S., is also extracted as a byproduct from deposits in Alaska, Washington, and Tennessee.
Well shit, I thought the only source was teck smelter in trail BC
lol “thebrainbin.org” What is that? A garbage bin for broken brains?
why is u mad tho?
Because your comment makes you sound like a Trump apologist.
Sounds like a you problem tbh
Ok
can’t shoot with money
You can’t buy bullets/cartridges, and guns with money? Weird. /s

Oh man! You definitely had your tests handed back face down!
What are you relying on to claim that Zelensky is a Zionist?
What, a head of state meeting with heads of state?
Am I missing something?
If you click on the source, they’ve put alt text on that image “The Leader Of The Free World Is A Jewish Zionist From Ukraine”.
ahh, i am missing something!
Funding Ukrainian Nazis.
You can try the shape the narrative however you’d like but the world knows that Russia is not the good guy in this story.
?
Like every BS conspiracy theory, there is a kernel of truth, but it’s exaggerated to a comical extreme. Yes, like pretty much every country, there are some Nazis in Ukraine. The focus from pro-Russian propagandists has often been on the Azov Brigade which IMHO does seems pretty neo-Nazi. However, I also give Ukraine as a whole a bit of a pass because wartime isn’t a great time to de-Nazify and restructure your armed forces.
Either Russian apologist or a useful “conservative” idiot
