The Canadian leader voiced his position

Carney publicly called on the international community to continue to exert "maximum pressure" on Russia.

According to him, it is important to do this because dictator Vladimir Putin "has not yet come to terms with the need for peace."

Putin is the cause of this war, he is the cause of the killings. He will not dictate the terms of peace.

As the politician noted, pressure from Western leaders on the aggressor country will include the introduction of new powerful sanctions, the provision of armaments to Ukrainian troops, and support for Ukraine "after the cessation of hostilities."

He also officially confirmed that the next round of sanctions is currently being prepared by Ukraine's allies.

As previously mentioned, the day before, Ursula von der Leyen discussed with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi his country's role in ending Russia's war against Ukraine and in promoting the peace process.
