As world leaders made their way to Kyiv to commemorate two years since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, questions remain about the strength of Western support for the embattled country.From left, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau; Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy; European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen; and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo pose for a photo at Mariinsky Palace in Kyiv on Saturday.
"What the Russians want to do now is to convince everybody that the Ukrainian case is hopeless," said Eliot Cohen, the Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former counselor at the U.S. State Department. "We've seen the impact of Russian misinformation and disinformation in countries all around the world," Trudeau said, while underlining how he believed Canada's $3-billion security assistance package demonstrated a depth of commitment.
"It's quite a bold message that here we are on the two-year anniversary of this war, and his No. 1 political critic he feels like he can eliminate, with little to no blowback ... I think was a very scary message to the Europeans. And I wish that we would get there, as well."
