Barely two weeks on the job and Chrystia Freeland is making a global pitch that support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia should be viewed not as charity but a sound investment in the west’s collective strength.
In a Financial Times opinion piece published Wednesday, Freeland, who is Canada’s newly named special representative for the reconstruction of Ukraine, said there is a strong geopolitical business case for providing continued financial support to the eastern European country.
“It’s time to stop thinking of Ukraine as a victim and to recognize that it can be a victor,” the former deputy prime minister and transport minister wrote.
