Mr. Speaker, for 1,000 days we have witnessed Russia's unprovoked and unjust invasion of Ukraine. For 1,000 days we have witnessed horrific war crimes and atrocities committed by Russian soldiers. For 1,000 days Ukrainian civilians have been subjected to indiscriminate attacks by Putin's war machine and forced to endure violence and fear. For 1,000 days our hearts have been broken by all the innocent blood that has been spilled on Ukraine's fertile lands.
However, over these 1,000 days we have seen the incredible resilience and bravery of the Ukrainian people. For over 1,000 days Ukraine's armed forces have valiantly outperformed all expectations as they stood firm defending their homeland and Ukraine's very identity. For 1,000 days they have bravely fought for human rights, the rule of law, liberty and their right to self-determination.
As Canadians and as Conservatives, we stand shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine. Ukraine's future is at stake. We must continue to support it.
Slava Ukraini.
