War in Ukraine can end in the coming months: what conditions are Trudeau

According to the Canadian Prime Minister, a lot will depend on the US position, and in case of refusing to support Ukraine, all its allies will not be able to compensate for Washington's assistance. Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Peru said Ottawa is committed to Ukraine's victory and wants the conflict to end as soon as possible. According to him, the Russian-Ukrainian war can end "in the coming months," Bloomberg reports.

The Canadian leader has supported the decision of German Chancellor Olaf Solz to have a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. At the same time, the German Chancellor call to Moscow has caused an ambiguous reaction among Western politicians. The agency writes that a number of European officials have been critical of the Scholz's step, saying that such actions are demonstrating weakness and is unlikely to affect the Kremlin's position.

"We all understand how important it is to put an end to violence in Ukraine, to stop conflicts around the world, it requires a certain level of interaction with partners that in many cases we disagree," Trudeau said, but added that the level of trust in the Russian president is all still remains low. According to the Canadian Prime Minister, the United States' actions remain a key factor in conflict resolution, and the coming to the Donald Trump administration may affect Ukraine's assistance.

"Let's be extremely frank: all allies in the world will not be able to replace the US complete refusal to support Ukraine," Trude stressed. We will remind, on November 15 it became known that German Chancellor Olaf Soltz had a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time in almost two years. Although the parties did not formally report the fact of the conversation, according to Reuters, the heads of states talked about an hour.
