Cost of war in Ukraine is rising, and Canada missed a key opportunity to stymie Russia’s tap

We will train Ukraine soldiers, scour the world market for munitions to send them, and fly the blue and yellow flag in solidarity with Ukrainians. But when we had a chance to cripple the Russian economy, we chose not to.

Defence Minister Anita Anand, pictured during a press conference in May, recently announced Canada will deploy up to 225 Canadian Armed Forces members this month to train Ukrainian recruits in the U.K. If we are bringing recruits from Ukraine to the U.K. for extensive training, it would seem that no one expects the fighting to end anytime soon, writes Scott Taylor.
