Prime Minister Mark Carney, along with more than a dozen world leaders meeting in South Africa, issued a joint statement on Saturday saying U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Ukraine “will require additional work.”
The leaders met on the edges of the G20 summit in Johannesburg to talk about Ukraine after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that his country is facing “one of the most difficult moments in its history.”
Zelenskyy is facing a deadline imposed by Trump to take or leave his plan to end the war — that’s viewed as favouring Russia — by Nov. 27.
“We are clear on the principle that borders must not be changed by force,” the leaders’ joint statement said. “We are also concerned by the proposed limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces, which would leave Ukraine vulnerable to future attack.”
