Canada, the Netherlands, Britain pledge to supply more weapons to Ukraine

“We call on the international community to stand by Ukraine’s right to self-defence and to respond to calls by Ukraine to strengthen its capabilities to defend itself. We will continue to do so and are bringing in further packages of defence support to Ukraine,” reads the trilateral statement.

The three countries also pledged to tighten sanctions against Russia over its military invasion. “We have also worked with partners to bring in an unprecedented package of purposeful and punitive sanctions to isolate Russia’s economy and will continue to impose severe costs on Russia given this unconscionable attack,” the document says.

On Monday, March 7, Canada announced it would expand sanctions against Russia by imposing restrictive measures against Kremlin propagandists and other supporters of the Putin regime.
