Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent a forceful rebuke of Russia at the conclusion of the G7 Leaders’ Summit, which was taken over by the arrival of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who hoped to shore up more support for his country.
The support of allies has been crucial to Ukraine’s survival amid a Russian invasion, and countries pushing for a ceasefire must recognize Russia is squarely to blame, Trudeau said Sunday in Hiroshima, Japan.
“Had we not been there with significant military support, Ukraine would not be standing today,” Trudeau told reporters at a news conference after attending the G7 Leaders’ Summit.
“We will not hesitate to continue to ensure that Russia does not succeed,” he said.
Zelenskyy arrived in Hiroshima on Saturday after G7 nations announced new sanctions on Russia and invited partner countries from the Global South to the summit, in hopes of building broader alliances in the face of geopolitical threats from Russia and Ukraine.
During the three-day summit, the United States confirmed it will allow western allies to send American-made fighter jets to support Ukraine’s war effort.
Asked how Canada might support that effort, Trudeau said the Canadian military’s ongoing effort could include training pilots. “We’re certainly not opposed to help in all sorts of different ways.”
Trudeau, who met with the Ukrainian president Sunday morning, said Zelenskyy’s physical presence in Hiroshima made a difference.
