Canada condemns Russia's military operation in Ukraine

New Delhi : Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has condemned Russia's military operation in Ukraine, asking the nation to immediately withdraw forces.

"Canada condemns - in the strongest possible terms - Russia's egregious attack on Ukraine. These unprovoked actions are a clear further violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and of Russia's obligations under international law and the Charter of the UN," Trudeau tweeted.

"Canada calls on Russia to immediately cease all hostile and provocative actions against Ukraine, and withdraw all military and proxy forces from the country. Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected," he said in a subsequent tweet.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday morning announced special military operation to demilitarize the Ukraine.

Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said that Putin has launched a full-scale invasion in Ukraine and several lives are in danger with these steps.
