Canada has been trying to persuade other countries of the necessity of granting Ukraine permission for longrange strikes on targets within Russian territory.
Source Ukrinform news agency, citing Canadian Foreign Minister Mlanie Joly after the Peace Formula conference, as reported by European Pravda Details Joly indicated that Canada supports allowing Ukraine to strike deep within Russia.
She emphasised that this is a part of Ukraines right to selfdefence against Russian aggression. Quote We are also trying to persuade other countries to adopt this position.
Background Previously, US intelligence and the Pentagon assessed that allowing Ukraine to conduct longrange strikes on Russian territory could bring Kyiv more drawbacks than benefits and thus recommended maintaining the current policy. Last month, the US president hinted at the possibility of lifting the relevant restrictions on Ukraines use of longrange weapons, saying that his administration was working on this issue.
At the same time, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin supported the US restrictions on Ukraines longrange strikes with Western weapons and insisted that it can defeat Russia even without such a capability.
