Rhetoric and reality in the fight for Ukraine
Today, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is meeting Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after a week of escalation over the future of Ukraine.\n\nForeign Minister M\xe9lanie Joly was in Ukraine earlier this week, expressing Canada's support for the country. But Ottawa Citizen defence reporter David Pugliese says Canada's military actions paint a different picture. In fact \u2014 Canada's moves on the ground reveal a limit to the government's willingness to help in Ukraine's looming fight.\n\nWe're also joined by Eilish Hart, the English-language news editor for the Latvia-based news site Meduza, who explains why that means Ukraine is getting ready to go it alone \u2014 and how regular Russians may curtail the Kremlin's actions.
