Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has firmly stated that Ukraine should be allowed to conduct long-range strikes inside Russian territory, despite threats from Moscow.

This stance comes in the wake of Ukrainian forces occupying parts of Russian territory for the first time since World War II, and Ukrainian officialls asking Western partners to remove restrictions on the use of Western long-range weapons so that Ukraine can degrade Russia’s logistics and airfields in the rear and bring the war to an end faster.

“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,” Trudeau declared at a news conference in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec.

Wow sweet did we provide any?

Nah. We sent armored trucks to Israel instead.

This is bullshit and a pretty gross deflection of the topic at hand. What’s happening in Palestine is horrible but hardly related to this post. Nothing is being rerouted to Israel. Canada has a massive Ukrainian population and while they lack sufficient long range missiles to give they have so far committed a lot of trucks and material that are involved in logistics. Pretty important considering they are now operating inside Russia. $4.5 billion to date. With another half billion + announced. If Russia wants to escalate the scope of war over Ukraine existentially defending themselves Canada will be one of the first countries involved.

For anyone actually interested in good faith the official link is here.

I doubt the average Russian gives a shit about P-wad's expansion ambitions. Make the fight personal to the culprit.

It's funny how Russia is trying to put this on the west, while it's the west that's actually been keeping Ukraine from doing this in the first place. Little Putler has been attacking Ukraine with long range missiles for so long now, and he might lose himself in his own propaganda.

He wants the West to continue to do that

[–] x00za@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

And I'm sure the west would happily do that if he would also stop using them.
