On motion of Darren Fisher, it was resolved:
That the Standing Committee on National Defence stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and the Government of Ukraine, and unequivocally condemns:
a. the unwarranted, unprovoked and egregious attack on Ukraine, which was ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin, and represents a clear violation of Russia’s obligations under international law and the Charter of the United Nations;
b. the illegal invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in 2014 and the illegal annexation of Crimea and occupation of eastern Ukraine; and,
c. President Putin and the Russian Government for these hostile and provocative violations of international law and on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
In addition, the committee calls on Canada, its allies, and the international community to stand resolutely in defence of the rules-based international order, human-rights, and democracy in Ukraine and around the world.
