PM Mark Carney has condemned the Russian drone incursion into Poland, saying it is completely counterproductive to peace efforts. Carney said Canada is monitoring the situation closely.
The prime minister said that to bring lasting peace to Ukraine and Europe, we must increase pressure on Putin to end the Ukraine war.
Defence Minister David McGuinty said in a statement that several NATO countries were involved in shooting down a Russian drone that violated Polish airspace, but he did not confirm whether any Canadian resources were used in the operation.
The government said that Canada's position as a founding member of NATO is as a key ally in the alliance. Conservative Leader Pierre Polyaev also condemned Russia's move.
