Thank you for the question. It is rather a large one, and fundamental. Perhaps I can start with what Canada sees as the just path to peace.
This war was an unprovoked war, a war that violated what every country through international law and the UN charter recognized as legitimate borders of Ukraine. Any just peace is one that must go through the re-establishment of territorial integrity on Ukraine's terms, the withdrawal of Russian troops, and, ultimately, reparation.
We haven't spoken too much today about reparation. We've talked about the costs that collectively we are trying to impose on Russia for its aggression. However, the level of destruction—not to speak about the opportunity costs of the development Ukraine would have pursued had it not been for this horrendous war—is also part of the equation.
Canada is contributing to a number of fora where calculating the reparation and calculating the damage that is imposed on Ukraine will all be part of what we see as a just end to this war. Ultimately, it is up to Ukraine to determine the terms it is prepared to accept as an end to this war. The commitment this government has made is to support Ukraine as long as possible so that it attains this level of satisfaction in finishing the war.
As for Russia, it clearly wants to steal territory. It wants to continue occupying parts of Ukraine and to consider it sovereign Russian territory. We don't have an active dialogue with Russia, as you know. We have extremely limited diplomatic bilateral and multilateral contact. To the best of our assessment, what we can assess is that Russia will want to retain some of the territory it invaded before calling this a win from their point of view.
