Canada is interested in partaking in conversations about security guarantees for Ukraine, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said on Feb. 18.
“We want to be part of these conversations regarding security guarantees,” Joly told reporters in Brussels on Feb. 18.
“We want to be part of conversations linked to more Canadians being involved in protecting Ukraine.”
Joly’s comments come a day before Canada is set to join European countries for a high-level summit in Paris, where leaders will discuss security options for Ukraine. The summit comes on the heels of a Feb. 18 meeting between U.S. and Russian delegations in Saudi Arabia that did not include Ukraine.
Problem at the moment is money so it won’t be much of a replacement for some time. Europe is going to have to be the primary replacement right now.
We could do a lot more though. Canada’s not even meeting our NATO commitments.
