Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that Canada will continue to support Ukraine for “as long as it takes” as Russia’s invasion of the country enters its second week.

Trudeau told members of Toronto’s Ukrainian community that there has been a “slippage” of democracies around the world, with disinformation on social media “turning people against the values” of democracies and countries turning to “slightly more authoritarian leaders.” Read more: Trudeau defends NATO rejection of Ukraine’s no-fly-zone request “That slippage over the years unfortunately emboldened (Russian President Vladimir) Putin,” Trudeau said. “Made him think that he could get away with it in Ukraine.” Trudeau said that after Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, the West didn’t have a “clear, strong pushback,” noting that the most significant consequence was Russia’s removal from the G8 international group.

After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, though, Trudeau said the response has been different and there has been “hard” pushback from countries.

Canada and its allies have targeted Russia’s economy with sanctions on the country’s central bank and oligarchs that have contributed to the “rapid collapse of Russia’s economy,” Trudeau said.

Trudeau defends NATO rejection of Ukraine’s no-fly-zone request
Justin Trudeau is defending NATO’s decision to reject establishing a no-fly-zone over Ukraine, warning the move would lead to an “unfortunate” escalation in the conflict.He made the comment during a press conference on Friday, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy enters the ninth day of his call for NATO to impose and enforce a ban on Russian jets flying in Ukrainian skies.“The thing that we have so far avoided — and will continue to need to avoid — is (creating) a situation in which NATO forces are in direct conflict with Russian soldiers,” Trudeau said.“That would be a level of escalation that is unfortunate that we need to avoid.” What is a no-fly zone? Here’s why the West isn’t imposing one in Ukraine Canada “will continue to impose punishing consequences on Putin,” until both he and the Russian people “understand just how terrible a mistake Vladimir Putin has just made,” Trudeau said.Implementing a no-fly zone over the country isn’t as simple as telling Russia it’s no longer allowed in the airspace — it also requires enforcement.That means if NATO were to put a ban on Russian planes in Ukrainian skies, they’d be forced to send in NATO jets to shoot down any Russian aircraft in that airspace.“We understand the desperation but we also believe that if we did that, we would end up with something that could lead to a full-fledged war in Europe involving much more countries and much more suffering,” said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in a Friday news conference.While NATO has enforced no-fly zones in previous conflicts, including in Iraq, Libya and Bosnia, there’s a major difference when it comes to what’s happening in Ukraine: Russia has nuclear weapons.That hasn’t deterred Zelenskyy, who made yet
