Trudeau condemns Putin's nuclear threat, mobilization in Ukraine during UN General Assembly | FULL

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to mobilize hundreds of thousands of Russian reservists in its war against Ukraine, vowing Canada’s continued support against the “illegal” invasion.

Trudeau told reporters in New York City at the United Nations General Assembly that Putin’s speech Wednesday morning — in which he also appeared to make a veiled reference to Russia’s nuclear capability — represented “an irresponsible and dangerous escalation” in the war.

“Putin’s behaviour only goes to show his invasion of Ukraine is failing,” he said.

Trudeau's agenda at the UNGA includes meetings on several subjects such as climate change, gender equality and biodiversity initiatives.

The visit will also include work on advancing the 17 goals of the UN's sustainable development effort, of which he is co-chairman. Those global goals include climate action, eliminating poverty and pollution, gender equality and fostering equitable economic growth.
