Russia’s invasion is a battle between ‘evil and democratic world’: Ukrainian MP
Global News
A delegation of legislators from Ukraine recently travelled to Canada with an important message for Ottawa as Russian forces continue to bombard their country.
Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine is not a war but a battle between the “evil and democratic world,” says Leisa Zaburanna, an Ukrainian MP who recently travelled to Canada alongside a delegation of legislators from Ukraine with an important message for Ottawa.
“We would like to highlight that it’s not a war between Russia and Ukraine,” Zaburanna told Global News’ Mercedes Stevenson on The West Block. “It’s a war between evil and democratic world.”
“We need more support from your people, from your government, from your Parliament,” she said.
“We are looking for financial assistance and we hope that Canada can be a leader in this sphere and also help us to heave effective negotiation with other countries in this aspect,” added Zaburanna, who is the chair of the delegation.
The group of Ukrainian parliamentarians are in Ottawa this week to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other federal government officials in a desperate bid to secure more support for their besieged nation.
The delegation has dismissed the prospects for a negotiated peace as another failed attempt to rescue civilians from the city of Mariupol and an explosion at a Russian fuel depot Friday threatened to undermine the latest round of talks.
The Ukrainian legislators instead listed three priority areas in which they said Ukraine needs more help: further sanctions on Russia, financial assistance and more weapons.
“We don’t need long negotiations. We need actions and the Canadian people can push the government to act,” Zaburanna said.
