I spoke with Canadaโs Prime Minister @MarkJCarney. It was a good and substantive conversation covering many important topics.
I congratulated him on his assumption of office and thanked Canada for its assistance, particularly for the defense packages and support of our energy sector.
The Prime Minister made the right points about how we need to step up pressure on Moscow. The shadow fleet, the banking sector. We must impose all-out sanctions on everything that provides Russia with funding for its war. Only then can we force Putin to a just and lasting peace.
We also discussed the humanitarian aspect of security guarantees for Ukraine. This includes rebuilding our country and supporting the economy after the war ends. We will work on this.
We touched upon the Ukrainian agenda during Canadaโs G7 presidency. We will continue interacting in various formats and at different levels to make our cooperation even more meaningful and practical.
Additionally, we discussed the development of bilateral relations between our countries. Canada is interested in military-industrial and defense cooperation. Throughout this war, we have gained significant experience in the production of EW systems, long-range missiles, and drones. Ukraine is ready for joint production.
Thank you for the support, and I look forward to productive cooperation.
This is quite witty, but is also a very accurate piece of analysis by one of the top military historians and political scientists in our nation. "Invading Canada is Not Advisable" by @EliotACohen
Just finished โA Calamity of Soulsโ by David Baldacci. Stunning! One of those books that stay with you forever, I suspect. I know it will be a book I will be recommending any time I am asked. Do yourself a favour get it, read it. And think about it.
Gretzky as the 'honourary" Canadian captain, comes out, gives the thumbs up to the USA bench, doesn't go to the Canadian bench, doesn't wear a Canadian jersey, surprised he wasn't wearing his MAGA hat. What a bloody Canadian disappointment Gretzky is...
