Russia-Ukraine war: Trudeau accuses Russia of "weaponizing" energy and food as UNSC meets

Addressing the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Russia of “weaponizing” energy and food as it continues to wage war on Ukraine.

Trudeau also said Canada shouldn’t have “to choose between supporting Ukraine and supporting the [UN] SDGs and global development.”

Earlier in the day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also addressed the council.

Zelenskyy will be in Ottawa later this week on his first visit to Canada since Russia began its invasion of the eastern European country in February 2022, sources tell Global News.

Zelenskyy is making the trip following his visit to the U.S. and the United Nations General Assembly that is currently underway.
