“Recovery doesn’t start after a ceasefire. It is an ongoing process. Today. Every day. It can’t wait for the war to end.”

“This war is a systematic violation of humans’ rights to live peacefully, speak their own language, go to school, run their business, enjoy their own culture and come home to their kids, safely and alive. It is a brutal attempt at ethnocide on a scale we have not seen in the West since the Second World War.”

“Russia’s bombing of Ukrainian energy infrastructure is forcing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to live without heat, electricity or water in the coldest winter on record. Russian terror against Ukrainian civilians must be met with a strong response from world leaders.”

“The Ukrainian Canadian community expresses its solidarity and admiration for the courageous Ukrainian Armed Forces, who bravely defend their country and Ukrainian First Responders who work around the clock to restore power to Ukrainian cities. The severe humanitarian crisis caused by Russian bombing of Ukrainian civilians has created urgent needs to which the community here is working hard to respond.”

Article content
“The destiny of democracy is unfolding on the battlefields of Ukraine. Supporting Ukraine is not an act of charity – or even just an act of solidarity. It’s enlightened self-interest. This war either stops in Ukraine, or it spreads deeper into Europe or over the Arctic. The sooner Russia is stopped, the lower the cost – in both lives and money.”
