Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada and the United States will continue to exert “maximum pressure” on Russia in response to its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Joly made the statement on Twitter following a video meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
She says the two discussed shared priorities, including ongoing support for Ukraine and co-operating with NATO, although she offered no additional details.
Later this week, Defence Minister Anita Anand will be in D.C. for her own set of in-person meetings with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon.
The conversation between Joly and Blinken follows the secretary of state’s in-person meeting in Kyiv earlier this week with Austin and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
That meeting appeared to signal a shift in the U.S. approach to the war, with Austin acknowledging that the goal is now to leave Russia sufficiently “weakened” so that it can no longer threaten its neighbours.
“They are, in fact, in terms of military capability, weaker than when it started,” Austin told a news conference in Germany.
