Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday, February 11, during a press conference said that the West is not interested in confrontation with Russia, but will continue to support Ukraine against the backdrop of the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border. This was reported on the website of the Canadian government.
“We are not looking for a confrontation with Russia, we have decided to support the Ukrainian people in their right to choose their future,” he stressed.
According to the head of government, Western countries are determined to impose “tough sanctions” on the Russian Federation if it violates the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.
On the same day, German government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit noted that Germany, the United States, France and Canada are determined to jointly impose prompt and thorough sanctions against Russia in the event of its invasion of Ukraine.
The United States and a number of European countries have recently expressed concern over the alleged increase in Russia’s “aggressive actions” against Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly denied such accusations, saying that it does not threaten anyone, and such statements are used as an excuse to place as much NATO military equipment as possible near the borders of the Russian Federation.
So, on January 28, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia was not going to start a war with Ukraine. Western countries and the United States are “hysterically” developing the topic of the threat from the Russian Federation, the diplomat noted. He clarified that it is necessary to force Kiev to comply with the Minsk agreements.
