Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assures that Canada will try to lend assistance to the Canadians who left to fight alongside the Ukrainians if things go wrong for them, but he stresses that it will be difficult to do so.
“We will always be there to try to help Canadians, but what we have said from the start is that Canadians should leave Ukraine because we will be very limited in our ability to help them,” said he said Wednesday in response to a reporter’s question, at a press briefing in the Ontario region of Waterloo.
Mr. Trudeau said he was aware that some had decided, on an individual basis, to lend a hand to Ukrainian troops in the face of the Russian invasion.
The Prime Minister reiterated in the same breath that Ottawa is busy sending heavy artillery to Ukraine, as announced the day before. He did not provide further information on the planned shipments and their timing.
“I can’t share the details of what we’re going to do for operational security reasons, but I can assure you we’ll be talking about it in the coming days once everything is safe and delivered. “, he replied when pressed with questions on the subject.
Trudeau said he’s sure people understand that Canada needs to be “cautious” about what information is released when it comes to “sending military equipment in the context of an illegal Russian-led war.” “.
