'Heartbreaking decisions' had to be made in Canada's response to Ukraine: Trudeau
CTV
Canada has had to make 'heartbreaking decisions' when confronted with images of bombed hospitals and schools in Ukraine, civilian casualties and the Ukrainian president's passionate plea for a no-fly zone over his war-ravaged country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday.
North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies, including Canada, have denied President Volodymyr Zelensky's request to close the skies over Ukraine due to concerns that it would cross a red line and potentially spark a world war-scale conflict.
"These are heartbreaking decisions and choices that we have to make," Trudeau said Wednesday, speaking at a news conference to announce new supports for Canada's automotive sector.
The prime minister added a no-fly zone may not prevent the mass destruction inflicted on Ukraine, as he said Russia has moved away from dropping bombs from planes over the country's airspace toward cruise missiles fired from a distance.
