Joly: Canada making every effort to end Russian regime’s aggression

“When Putin ignored all diplomatic efforts and launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Canada, along with its international partners, took action… We are not done. We continue to work with the international community to do everything we can to end the Russian regime’s aggression,” Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, said in Ottawa on June 3, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

Canada is unwavering in its support to Ukraine, the minister stressed. “As the world reacts to the horrific events across Ukraine, Canada will not relent in holding Putin and his enablers accountable and supporting a full investigation of reported war crimes by the International Criminal Court,” Joly said.

The minister stated that “for 100 days the Ukrainian people have held strong.”

“Their courage and resilience inspire us all,” she noted.

In late May, Canada expanded sanctions against Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine.
