Canada could take part in Ukraine peacekeeping with ‘security guarantees’ from U.S., defence minister says
OTTAWA — Canada is willing to participate in an as-yet undefined peacekeeping operation in Ukraine if a deal to stop the fighting with Russia is reached, Defence Minister Bill Blair said Wednesday.
Blair stressed that he would want “security guarantees” from the United States, but that Canada is ready to play a role in what United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently dubbed a “coalition of the willing” to defend Ukraine and preserve peace if the ongoing war with Russia stops.
