Where was the Canadian UN ambassador when the Canadian trucker had the bank account frozen?? Hypocrite

[jamesskinner]

Where was all this concern when the Asov Battalion was shelling the Donbass? Why was there no push to have Ukraine live up to their commitments under Minsk? They only had 7 years to come up with a negotiated settlement and did nothing. Now we are concerned. Should have been concerned a bit earlier. BTW when we support Ukraine do we just support the Ukrainian speaking part or do we also support the Russian speaking part?

Bob Rae has seen so much horror since taking the position of UN ambassador. I'm glad a man of his caliber is in the position, but hope it isn't weighing to hard on him

War is a terrible situation for the people of any country. The world leaders should duke it out in a field with each other and leave innocent people out of their created cruelty.

A weak country can do a little - it looks like Canada prefers to be a weak country than to provide a real support for Ukraine. I'm Ukrainian Canadian and I feel sorry for Canada not to be able to protect my family in Ukraine.

Please United States, the European Union and other democracy countries continue to help Ukraine, find ways to provide modern weapons, air defense missile to Ukraine. Russian dictator will continue to fire missiles, continue to commit atrocities to Ukraine and other countries. We are democracy, cannot live under leading of Russian dictator.
