National Defence committee  I don't think it is actually still true. There was a period when Ukraine was, yes, exporting arms to the Russian Federation because of the natural, long-lasting relationship that had been built up in the Soviet period and continued post-1991. I'm going to defer to Professor Kuzio

National Defence committee  I think the place I was at in Donetsk and then travelling up to Luhansk, the separation area, the no man's land, was much more than a wide street. Nevertheless, there were violations while I was on the line. Literally, Russian artillery pieces were firing at our position or very

National Defence committee  The rationale for deploying tactical nuclear weapons, because that's what it would be, into Crimea and into Königsberg, where I believe they already exist, in Kaliningrad, the exclave of the Russian Federation, is to of course have an advantage over the NATO alliance and to domin

National Defence committee  In Kaliningrad, yes. In Crimea, I don't know.

National Defence committee  I can't answer that question. That's not an area I would feel comfortable responding in, but perhaps Dr. Kuzio can.

Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk

National Defence committee  There are several questions there. One is, I think, for a list of the kinds of things that Ukrainians are asking for now, I would just refer you back to the Globe and Mail article today, because former Secretary General Rasmussen actually lists them there. I'm not going to repeat

National Defence committee  Ukraine is at war, so if I have to answer that and prioritize, I would say the first thing is to provide them with the defensive weaponry they need. That's what they would say. That said, Canada has a distinguished, very positive, and very welcome record of supporting democratic

Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk

National Defence committee  The provision of defensive weaponry would help the Ukrainians make the Russian incursion into Ukrainian lands costly, continuingly expensive, both in terms of materiel and manpower. I don't think the Russian Federation is prepared to go much further than they've already gone. Th

National Defence committee  Professor Kuzio.

October 16th, 2017Committee meeting

Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk

National Defence committee  That's right. There's a very strong feeling among front-line troops that I spoke to and among a younger generation in Kiev and Lviv, whom I also spoke to in the pro-democracy movements, that they were betrayed.

October 16th, 2017Committee meeting

Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk

National Defence committee  Yes, I think they still would be because I don't think the Russian Federation's plans had very much to do with western guarantees one way or another because I think the Russians understood from day one that it was bogus, or certainly that it was.... We have to be very careful. Th

Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk

National Defence committee  My understanding from having been in Ukraine several times in 2010 was that the NATO message was not getting out, that it was ineffectual, that it was limited, and that it was not being heard. There was at that time a considerable proportion of the Ukrainian population that was v

Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk

National Defence committee  There's one that I made reference to in Crimea in 2010. The billboards that were being put up everywhere suggested that the people of Crimea saw their future prosperity in the Russian Federation, and separatist posters, placards, were being completely ignored by the government in

National Defence committee  The simple answer is absolutely, yes.
