Carney calls for “maximum pressure” on Russia, where Putin exposes the threat to the allies

Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday after Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened on charges of targeting foreign forces if they were deployed in Ukraine, that Canada and other allies need to maintain “maximum pressure” on Moscow.

“Putin has not yet reconciled with the need for peace,” Prime Minister said in response to a question from a reporter at a press conference in Mississoga.

“Mr. Putin is the cause of this war. It is the cause of killing,” he said. “The conditions of peace will not dictate.”

Carney said that the pressure of the allies on Russia would include the imposition of new sanctions, ensuring that the Ukrainian forces are armed and that Ukraine is supported “when there is a stop of hostility.” He said that the next round of sanctions is now prepared by Ukraine allies.

The Associated Press reported that Putin said on Friday that any foreign forces deployed in Ukraine, especially while the war continues, will be considered “legitimate targets” by Moscow forces.

Putin also rejected the idea of ​​peacekeeping forces in Ukraine after a final peace agreement, saying, “No one should doubt” that Moscow will comply with a treaty.

The Prime Minister said that nearly 40 percent of the fund will go to the supplies that affect the need, including vehicles, weapons and medical equipment. Another third of the financing will support purchases from the list of elements determined by NATO, including American equipment, ammunition and air defense capabilities.

Canada is also committed to purchasing the possibilities of the drone, anti -electronic warfare capabilities for Ukraine.

While he was in Kyiv on Ukraine’s independence, Carney also set $ 31 million in humanitarian aid and other support to rebuild the war -torn country in the coming years.
