Trudeau Announces CAD$120 Million Loan To Ukraine

CANADA

Canada has announced a loan to the Ukrainian government of up to CAD$120 million. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said that Canada was exploring other ways to get involved.

  • Trudeau said: 'Russia is aiming to destabilize Ukraine, including economically. This loan will help support Ukraine's economic resilience. We're also exploring other options to provide financial and other supports.'

  • The more hawkish tone from Trudeau in the past week shows that the international community is become increasingly aligned in the response to Russian aggression.
