Russia-Ukraine standoff: Canadian defence minister visits Kyiv, discusses aid with counterpart

Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand was in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv on Monday and met with Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov to discuss further aid Canada could provide for the country as fears of Russian invasion mount.

Anand described her conversation with Reznikov as “amicable” and said she discussed a wide range of issues including Operation Unifer and cybersecurity.

The visit comes as Russia and the U.S. are set to square off at the U.N. Security Council over Ukraine on Monday.

Russia denies it intends to launch an attack but demanded that NATO promise never to allow Ukraine to join the alliance, halt the deployment of NATO weapons near Russian borders, and roll back its forces from Eastern Europe. NATO and the U.S. call those demands impossible.

[markwilliams]

how is she qualified to be defence minister again?

[MrBoratWOW]

This defence minister reminds me of Tam but with a stronger jaw line.

What right does Canada have meddling with other Nations affairs when it can't even conduct itself with dignity and honor at home? No to War -- Yes to Freedom ❤️ ✊

[williammaki]

Why is our national defence always being directed by East Indians. What military background does this woman have?

[nickmanning]

So if she completely failed at rolling out the vaccinations for canada why would we trust her in this roll?

[korky]

Thank you truckers for standing up against tyranny in Canada, true heroes. 100% stand in solidarity with you ❤️

[markhughes]

What’s her back ground in defence matters ? Probably going commando. This Lieberal government is a joke.

[kurupsuresh]

Ha ha. Putin must be shaking in his boots

[inlightening]

The diversity hire will fix it. No worries. LOL

Every 100 years West attacking Russia (you know the results). Why did not we send the troops to protect Libya, Yugoslavia, Iraq, or Afghanistan? Ukrainian president said "Russia is not trying to attack us right now", but we still want "to help". Why are we getting involved?! Is it the only problem on this planet? Or it is important for our big brother? Did you ask people in Donbass what do they think about attack? Do you know anything about Russian-Ukrainian history?
To many questions Minister Anita))

[SamLamsTopThankyoueveryone]

Shouldn't you have a military background to be defence minister?

[frankdiscussion]

they are trying to save Chrystia Freeland's mansion in Kiev

[supersaiyanjohn]

They’ve done a pretty good job so far, not sending a boat load of troops, not sending lethal supplies, just sent enough troops to help train the Ukrainian soldiers, various tech support .. this is a “war” that will more then likely not happen so why waste our resources ?
