Canadian Troops May Be Sent to Ukraine as Part of Peace Deal, Says Trudeau



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.

Trudeau emphasized Canada's commitment to aiding Ukraine, including a pledge of $5 billion in aid using funds from seized Russian assets. He also mentioned that Canada will provide additional military support, such as light armoured vehicles and F-16 flight simulators.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly echoed Trudeau's sentiments, expressing Canada's interest in having more Canadians involved in protecting Ukraine.
