This episode of Friday Focus opens with a discussion of Canada’s vote in favour of a UN resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire. How are we to interpret Canada breaking from the U.K. and U.S. and voting for the resolution? Was the accompanying statement released alongside the vote important to understanding the government’s motivations? The remainder of the program explores the increasingly challenging environment Ukraine is operating in to generate support for its war aims against Russia. Is it time to start considering a negotiated settlement, or is too much on the line in terms of NATO credibility and the survival of Ukraine as a functioning nation state?
