Canada has told the U.S. that it’s willing to help with possible deterrence measures against Russia — which could include sanctions — to de-escalate the crisis in Ukraine, CBC News has learned.
Canada made the offer during a meeting between Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Dec. 31, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
The source said the message was received well by Blinken.
