Canada’s top diplomat: Putin losing grip on reality

Ukrinform
Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Russian President Vladimir Putin is losing his grip on reality, a year after his invasion of Ukraine.

That’s according to Global News, Ukrinform reports.

“President Putin is entirely responsible for this war, and his latest address proves that he remains unmoored from this reality,” Joly said.

She condemned the address in which Putin announced he was suspending Russia’s participation in the strategic arms reduction treaty.

Joly said it was “reckless” for Putin to leave the nuclear treaty, and said his speech amounted to “recycled absurdities” about the war.

“It is about choosing peace – a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in Ukraine,” she said.

“It is about choosing rules over chaos and clearly stating that no one, today and in the future, can disregard the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“There’s no option but victory for Ukraine. Canada will be there to support Ukraine’s fight for freedom, for as long as it takes,” said the top diplomat.
