Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that sending Canadian troops to Ukraine is a possibility under a potential peace deal. During a visit to Kyiv to mark the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Trudeau stated that "everything is on the table" when it comes to supporting Ukraine.
