Canada warns Russia: NATO will not be intimidated by “provocations”
Russia regularly tests the resolve of NATO members, but these attempts will fail.

As reported by an Ukrinform correspondent, this was stated in a post by the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its X account.

“In recent days, a Russian warship threatened a Danish helicopter, NATO intercepted a drone over Lithuania, and Russia struck a passenger train near Ukraine’s border with Poland – a pattern of provocation testing our resolve. These attempts will fail,” the Ministry said.

The Ministry stressed that “NATO is protecting Allied airspace.”

“Canada stands with Denmark, Lithuania and Ukraine. Our commitment to NATO and Ukraine will not wave,” the Canadian Foreign Ministry said.
