Trudeau heads to Europe to meet allies amid fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine

  • Trudeau heads to Europe to meet allies amid fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is heading to several European capitals as fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine intensifies.

Trudeau will spend next week in meetings in London, Berlin, Riga, Latvia and Warsaw, Poland, saying he is joining partners to stand against Moscow’s aggression.

Canada’s foreign affairs minister met counterparts at NATO headquarters in Brussels today to co-ordinate continuing efforts to sanction Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

Before the meeting, Mélanie Joly said ministers planned to discuss a Russian attack on a major nuclear power plant in the eastern Ukraine city of Enerhodar.

Russian troops seized the plant, the largest in Europe, after a middle-of-the-night attack that set it on fire and briefly raised worldwide fears of a catastrophe.

Firefighters put out the blaze, and no radiation was released, United Nations and Ukrainian officials said, as Russian forces pressed on with their week-old offensive on multiple fronts and the number of refugees fleeing the country topped 1.2 million.
