Canada and its allies in the G7 should provide Ukraine with more air defense systems and long-range weapons.

According to a Ukrinform correspondent, this was stated by Alexandra Chyczij, President of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, while commenting on Russia’s overnight strikes on Ukraine.

“The leaders of the G7 member states are meeting in France. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress calls on the G7 to provide Ukraine with more air defense systems and long-range weapons so that it can stop Russian strikes on civilians,” Chyczij said.

She also called for a significant strengthening of sanctions against Russia “to break the Russian war machine.”

“Russia must finally be recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism and isolated from the international community,” emphasized the head of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.
