According to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the international community will do all possible to ensure that Russian President Vladimir Putin loses his war in Ukraine, including imposing long-term sanctions on Moscow.
“What Putin has to understand is that the West is completely dedicated and resolved to stand up to what he is doing,” Trudeau said in an interview with Reuters.
“As a global community, we will do everything we can to guarantee that he loses as a result of his illegal war, escalation, and breaking of red lines by choosing to invade Ukraine further.”
Trudeau said Putin is making a terrible mistake on the sidelines of a surprise visit to Ukraine for discussions with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, whom he called a friend.
The 77th anniversary of the Nazis’ capitulation was marked in Europe on Sunday. On May 9, Russia rejoices in its win. At 11:01 p.m. on May 8, 1945, which was May 9 in Moscow, Nazi Germany unconditionally surrendered.
Putin, who has been Russia’s de facto leader since 1999 and will preside over the centennial celebrations on Monday, has used Victory Day to admonish the West in recent years, opening with a salute in Red Square before a parade of troops, tanks, rockets, and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Canada will contribute additional weapons and equipment to Ukraine, and its embassy in Kyiv, the country’s capital, will reopen, according to Trudeau.
Putin claims that on February 24, he began a “special military operation” to disarm Ukraine and rid it of anti-Russian nationalism stoked by the West. Ukraine and its allies claim that Russia attacked without warning.
Trudeau stated that the countries that have put sanctions on Russia, which have had a significant impact on the Russian economy, are committed to maintain them in place for as long as is required, even years.
“Vladimir Putin cannot expect to gain from the world’s stability, growth, and prosperity after 70 years,” he remarked.
