I stand with Ukraine

I stand with Ukraine and am expressing my support for Canada taking a leadership role in support of Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity.

Since invading Ukraine in 2014 and illegally occupying Crimea, Russia has waged a war of aggression in the east Ukrainian oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. This war has cost Ukraine over 13,000 dead, over 30,000 wounded and 1.5 million internally displaced people.

Russia is again threatening a further invasion of sovereign Ukrainian territory, moving a significant amount of troops and military hardware to Ukraine’s borders and occupied Ukrainian territory.

I believe that Canada and our NATO allies must respond with unity and resolve to Russia’s increasing threats against Ukraine.
