Ukraine must be allowed to carry out strikes deep into Russian territory, despite Moscow's threats that this would drag NATO into a direct war with Russia, stated Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
According to Trudeau, Canada "fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry" to prevent Russian strikes on hospitals and daycares across the country.
Trudeau believes that Ukraine must win its fight against the Russian invasion, or else it will encourage other major countries to "try absorbing their neighbors".
"Canada fully supports Ukraine using long-range weaponry to prevent and interdict Russia's continued ability to degrade Ukrainian civilians (and) infrastructure, and mostly to kill innocent civilians in their unjust war," stated Trudeau.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin is attempting to destabilize the international rules-based order that protects everyone.
Partners restrict strikes deep into Russia
For a long time, Ukraine has been trying to get permission from its partners to use long-range weapons to strike on Russian territory.
According to White House Press Secretary John Kirby, the US is engaged in closed-door negotiations with Ukraine on this issue.
A meeting between US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected soon, where the leaders are likely to discuss the possibility of allowing Ukraine's Armed Forces to carry out strikes on Russian territory.
