Ukraine has demonstrated the importance of defying a bullying authoritarian regime that is determined to undermine the democratic West
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be in Ottawa on Friday to meet the Governor-General, to hold talks with the Prime Minister and cabinet members, and to address the House of Commons. Ottawa has provided Ukraine with $8-billion in loans, aid and military support for its war with Russia so far, and Mr. Zelensky will in part use his visit to express his thanks.
Russian commanders famously packed their dress uniforms when they led their troops into the country in February, 2022, believing that they would shortly be leading a victory parade through Kyiv. Instead, Ukraine won the battle for Kyiv, and followed up with other major victories. It has now launched a counteroffensive that is slowly taking territory held by Russian forces.
Just as significantly, as Mr. Snyder says, Ukraine and its allies have refused to give in to Russia’s unsettling threats to use nuclear weapons, demonstrating that nuclear blackmail won’t work if Western countries remain unbowed by it. , by blocking Ukraine’s grain exports, its brutal war crimes – including the kidnapping of 20,000 Ukrainian children – and its manipulation of its oil and gas supplies to pressure other countries would be rewarded should the invasion succeed.remaining in Russia’s hands in a compromise to end the war sooner, would be a signal to other authoritarian regimes that the West is not willing to go to the wall in defence of a rules-based international order.
