Zelensky Tells Canada’s Parliament Russia Is Committing Genocide

It Is genocide, what Russian occupiers are doing to Ukraine. And when we want to win, when we call on the world to support us, it is not just about an ordinary conflict, it is about saving lives of millions of people. Literally, physical salvation. Ordinary women and men, children, our families, whole communities, entire cities. Russia’s destruction of Mariupol or Volnovakha, or Bakhmut or any other city or village in Ukraine must not go unpunished. Canada’s support for Ukraine with weapons and equipment has allowed us to save thousands, thousands of lives. This includes air defense systems, armored vehicles, artillery shells and very significant assistance in demining. Thank you so much. Canada’s leadership in sanctions against Russia for this war and terror really encouraged others in the world to follow, to follow your lead. And I’m especially grateful for your extremely strong 100 percent leadership support of the Ukrainian movement to NATO. For your strong participation in training our soldiers — it’s very important — it’s already a tradition that Canada trained those who defend the world. Thousands? Yes.
