Changing Russia’s current political regime is “definitely” one of Canada’s goals in supporting Ukraine, says Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, who added that a distinction must be made between Russia’s regime and its people in so doing.

Joly made the remarks while speaking to reporters at a press conference in Ottawa on March 10, where she was joined by her Norwegian counterpart Anniken Huitfeldt to speak on matters related to the war in Ukraine.
