Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said it is in Canada’s “national interest” for Ukraine to win its war against Russia, following a poll that showed Canadians’ support of sending further aid to the country is waning.
“Yes, the war is happening in Ukraine. However, it is also a war for us. Why? Because Ukrainians are fighting for international order; the rules-based order,” Ms. Freeland said during a Feb. 6 press conference.
