Populism strengthened the hand of authoritarian leaders like Putin who will pay for his crimes says hypocrite who turned Emergencies Act on his own citizens

Putin will pay for ‘war crimes he’s committed in Ukraine,’ Justin Trudeau says

BERLIN—Canada and European leaders condemned Russia’s bombing of a Ukrainian maternity hospital as an atrocity. And Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Russian President Vladimir Putin would be held accountable by the International Criminal Court for “war crimes he’s committed in Ukraine.”

Trudeau made the comment after delivering a foreign policy speech in Berlin on the need for democracies to make a “constant effort” to counter apathy, disinformation, low voter turnout and the rise of populism that may have strengthened the hand of authoritarian leaders like Putin.
