Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has expressed his intention to continue supporting Ukraine and has ruled out any peace options dictated by Moscow, according to the official's interview with Radio-Canada.
The head of government noted that Canada still needs to assess the conditions under which it could participate in a peacekeeping operation.
Carney pointed out that the country is currently part of the so-called Coalition of the Willing under the coordination of France and the UK, adding that this is one of the topics I am discussing with the leaders of these countries.
The Canadian Prime Minister also emphasized that no peace agreement should be made without Ukraine's consent and deemed any ultimatums from the Kremlin unacceptable, particularly demands to change the central government in Kyiv.
Carney said that he was very proud of how the Canadian government and Canadians, in general, supported the Ukrainian people. He categorically rejected the possibility of making peace without Ukraine's involvement and any demands from Russian dictator Putin to remove President Zelenskyy.
Peacekeeping mission in Ukraine
In early March, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the creation of the so-called Coalition of the Willing. This group consists of European countries that could send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine to protect it from Russia once peace is achieved.
Recently, Ukrainian, French, and British military officials held talks. The parties attempted to identify ways to achieve peace and stability after the cessation of hostilities.
Meanwhile, Canada has already declared its intention to become a new global leader in place of the US.
