The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement condemning Russia\u2019s attack on Ukraine:<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada condemns in the strongest possible terms Russia\u2019s egregious attack on Ukraine. These unprovoked actions are a clear further violation of Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity. They are also in violation of Russia\u2019s obligations under international law and the Charter of the United Nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada calls on Russia to immediately cease all hostile and provocative actions against Ukraine and withdraw all military and proxy forces from the country. Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected and the Ukrainian people must be free to determine their own future.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia\u2019s actions will be met with severe consequences. Tomorrow morning, I will be meeting with G7 partners, and we will continue working closely and quickly with NATO and our allies to collectively respond to these reckless and dangerous acts, including by imposing significant sanctions in addition to those already announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the face of these attacks on Ukraine, Canada will take additional action to stop Russia\u2019s unwarranted aggression. We continue to stand with Ukraine, its people, and the Ukrainian Canadian community here in Canada. Russia\u2019s brazen acts will not go unpunished.\u201d<\/p>\n
