Conservatives condemn Putin’s invasion of Ukraine

CANDICE Bergen, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and the Official Opposition said in a statement on Thursday on Putin’s invasion of Ukraine that her party stands in solidarity with Ukraine and its people.

She added: “Together with millions of Canadians and the Ukrainian community in Canada, we condemn Putin’s actions.

“Putin’s contemptible aggression and invasion of Ukraine is unacceptable. His attack on the Ukrainian people and their democratically elected government is despicable.

“Autocrats like Putin should and will be judged harshly. Conservatives stand ready to defend the rules-based international order against these grievous violations of international law.”
