Canada is considering some “long-term security guarantees” for Ukraine beyond its support for the country throughout its war with Russia, in order to provide it with security assurances for years to come, says Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.

Ms. Joly spoke to reporters in Vilnius, Lithuania, on July 11 where she is attending the NATO Leaders’ Summit this week alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Defence Minister Anita Anand.
