Canada will send $5B in aid to Ukraine using funds from seized Russian assets, PM Trudeau says
cross-posted from: https://scribe.disroot.org/post/2029861
Canada will send $5 billion in aid to Ukraine using funds from seized Russian assets, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday at a peace and security summit in Kyiv.
Trudeau made the pledge as he and a dozen other world leaders are in the Ukrainian capital to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, where support for Ukraine to end the war on its terms and with its territory intact remained strong.
“This is not a conflict Ukraine wanted, provoked or asked for in any way,” Trudeau said at the summit table.
“This is a war started for one reason and one reason only: Russia’s desire to erase Ukrainian history and expand their empire.”
[...]
“We cannot return to an era where might makes right,” Trudeau said. “We must do everything in our power to enable Ukraine to secure a just and lasting peace, a peace that cannot be achieved without Ukrainians at the table.”

Trudeau has been knocking it out of the park ever since he announced his resignation
The Fuck Trudeau crowd is in shambles
Didn't you know that everyone who's bad is now Trudeau? Carney? Nah that's Trudeau in a mask! Freeland? Trudeau in a mask AND a dress.
Nah, they're opinions were never based on fact. It was always them falling for the propaganda.
I send them my regards.
Now that Trudeau is out of the picture - who are they going to fuck now?
I vote for themselves.
Us! At the voting station, when they vote for Ford
Themselves maybe?
....from whence they originated.
It's crazy, once he stopped playing politics he became a pretty decent politician!
No longer has to worry about re-election, so he can now make the proper call on issues
True, but polls show he also became more popular once he stopped making blatantly political moves (Carbon Tax exception for Heating Oil, etc) and started making "the proper call on issues". It might just be a rally-around-the-flag effect with US tariffs & 51st state stuff, but I think it's quite the coincidence!
It’s not the polls he’d worry about, it’s the billionaires funding his opponents. Now that he’s retiring, he doesn’t have to deal with campaign fundraising
He's really good in these situations. He also knocked it out of the park during Covid.
Yes now that he plans to quit he finally wants to make his father proud. He wasnt so bad at the start, but then he just regressed into nothing then into eh then into just shut up.
Its such a shame he got overwhelmed with high expectations so quickly and just turned into yeah hes th PM, yeah hes okay but whatever. He couldve been and done much more.
Not the most familiar with Canadian politics, but isn't that because he got thrown a lot of Trump-shaped low-hanging fruits?
lol
Ukrainian troops firing at Russians with weapons purchased with money from seized Russian assets.
That's poetry right there.
As an addition: Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the UK also announced new sanctions against Russia at the start of this week.
How much more can we realistically sanction?
Until Ukraine takes over Russia and makes it a democracy.
I think the poster you replied for meant what is there practically left to sanction?
Kind of amazed Oz isn’t towing more of the Trump line.
A lot of mouth breathing Canadians are going to be mad at Trudeau again!
Bravo! This is why Canada is loved by other nations.
It's also a HUGE "fuck you" to Trump and Putin.
Slava Ukraini!
Ty Canada.
Trumpty Dumpty is trying to serve them up on a silver platter.
How many frozen asset funds are remaining?
The National Post is American owned media pretending to be Canadian, infiltrating Canadian culture and politics.
We already have more minerals than we know what to do with
We as in US? There are several critical minerals the US can only get by importing.
No you're not an expert. You can't make solar panels or fibre optic cables without germanium and the US has none. Just one of many examples
Well shit, I thought the only source was teck smelter in trail BC
lol "thebrainbin.org" What is that? A garbage bin for broken brains?
Because your comment makes you sound like a Trump apologist.
Ok
Bro people actually taking your comment as serious lmaooo
Did y’all not realize this is obviously a joke?
can't shoot with money
You can't buy bullets/cartridges, and guns with money? Weird. /s
Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts.
Oh man! You definitely had your tests handed back face down!
I only see a man masterfully gaining support for his nation to defend themselves from invaders.
I thought the alt-left believes Zelenskyy is a Nazi and Putin is Captain America rushing in to save the day?
Could not possibly be prouder of our lad
Explain this.
What, a head of state meeting with heads of state?
Am I missing something?
If you click on the source, they've put alt text on that image "The Leader Of The Free World Is A Jewish Zionist From Ukraine".
ahh, i am missing something!
Funding Ukrainian Nazis.
Are these nazis in the room with us right now?
Oh, there you are!
Instructions for you:
Save your BS for Truth Social, snail.
You can try the shape the narrative however you'd like but the world knows that Russia is not the good guy in this story.
?
Like every BS conspiracy theory, there is a kernel of truth, but it's exaggerated to a comical extreme. Yes, like pretty much every country, there are some Nazis in Ukraine. The focus from pro-Russian propagandists has often been on the Azov Brigade which IMHO does seems pretty neo-Nazi. However, I also give Ukraine as a whole a bit of a pass because wartime isn't a great time to de-Nazify and restructure your armed forces.
