Foreign Affairs committee  I think it's quite transparent in all democracies, and the list of equipment that was committed to be supplied to Ukraine and what was delivered are on the website of DND. I'm not in a position now to comment in percentage terms but on each specific case. You probably mean the 8

Foreign Affairs committee  Of course, this is the biggest war that's happened on the European continent since the Second World War. This war has so many dimensions on the military side and with the impact on civilians, on the global energy sector, on global food security and on the environment. There is n

Foreign Affairs committee  First of all, thank you. Thank you for being with Ukraine for 10 years, because the war started 10 years ago. If we look back at what happened during those 10 years, Russia strategically lost global security. Russia is no longer a G8 member—it's now G7—and that was done with the

Foreign Affairs committee  I think that's the most complicated question I'm getting personally. Usually, it's a question from people who are being polite. You can't say that you're okay when over two years, every day.... I think the most scary thing for me personally is to wake up in the morning and read

Foreign Affairs committee  First of all, let me also thank you for the agreement and the negotiations we had in such a short time with the amazing team at Global Affairs, which was led by Heidi Hulan and had participants from other departments. That was incredibly amazing work the team did here, but also i

Foreign Affairs committee  The biggest part of this is the loan to the Ukrainian budget, and we highly appreciate this loan. I think Canada started to support Ukraine and the Ukrainian budget back in 2015. After Russia occupied Crimea, Canada provided the first loan to Ukraine to support the Ukrainian bud

Foreign Affairs committee  This is probably the situation we face with many of the partners. If you ask at what time we need many of those packages of support, the first answer you will hear in Ukraine is “yesterday” or even “the day before yesterday”. The time is pressing, but sometimes the restraints are

Foreign Affairs committee  First, we all need to realize that Russia cannot sustain its military production without western spare parts. The second thing is that, because that's their crucial need, they will try to find intermediaries in other countries in trying to circumvent the sanctions. We also need

Foreign Affairs committee  I will add two different things. First is the sanctions themselves and their impact. The second thing is about the seizing of assets when it comes to the sovereign assets that are now being discussed among, first of all, the G7 countries and those countries holding the major port

Foreign Affairs committee  I'll emphasize that Ukraine has the will and the courage of its people and of those who are now on the front line to fight. The thing we are missing is enough military support to equip them and enough air defence to protect civilians and the cities from not only Russian but also

Foreign Affairs committee  Indeed, the rebuilding has already started. When we were with Minister Joly visiting Chernihiv—which is an hour-and-a-half drive from Kyiv—and the communities that were occupied, we crossed a big, four-lane bridge that didn't exist 15 months ago. It was blown up and then quickl

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you for all of those questions.

Foreign Affairs committee  Just to start with, I think we all understand that the strategy of helping Ukraine one drop at a time no longer works. You saw the news when the Ukrainian forces made a decision to withdraw from Avdiivka, which does not give Russia any gains except for PR for the so-called—I don

Foreign Affairs committee  Indeed, ammunition is now one of the pressing things. Among all the NATO members and all members of the Ramstein group, which held its 20th meeting just yesterday, the question of coordinating efforts to supply ammunition to Ukraine is of high importance. We value the recent anno

Foreign Affairs committee  It would be good if we had at least 7,000 to 8,000 per day. That would make a huge difference.
