Johnson took the same stance during a Sunday meeting with Justin Trudeau, Canada’s Prime Minister. “Ukraine is on a knife-edge and we need to tip the balance of the war in their favor. That means providing Ukraine with the defensive capabilities, training and intelligence they need to repel the Russian advance,”A Downing Street statement read.
