Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that Ukraine should be able to use long-range weapons to prevent Russian strikes on civilian targets.
He emphasized that Canada "fully supports Ukraine" in this matter, despite Moscow's threats to involve NATO in the conflict, reports The Canadian Press.
Trudeau believes that Ukraine must win in the fight against the Russian invasion, otherwise it will encourage other large countries to try to "absorb" their neighbors.
"Canada fully supports Ukraine in its use of long-range weapons to prevent and stop Russia's continued ability to destroy the Ukrainian civilian population, infrastructure, and most importantly, kill innocent civilians in its unjust war," Trudeau said.
The prime minister also said that the defeat of Ukraine would be a signal for other major countries to start taking over their neighbors, and emphasized the importance of Kyiv's victory in the fight against Russian invasion. He emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to deeply destabilize the international order.
The lifting of restrictions on the use of weapons is the latest news
US President Joe Biden may allow Ukraine to use British and French Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles for strikes on Russian territory, but not American long-range weapons, in particular, ATACMS missiles. The Times writes about this with reference to sources familiar with the situation.
Today, no decision will be announced following Biden's meeting with British Prime Minister Starmer, at which permission to strike Russia with long-range weapons is discussed. This was announced by the White House adviser on communications in the field of national security, John Kirby.
"I would not have expected an announcement today. Our policy in this regard has not changed," he said.
